Canberra Disability Review - Autumn 2022

“It's very hard to know what systems are out there, and how to access them. One thing I would like improved is legal access. There is simply no justice unless you can hire a lawyer. I thought part of being a citizen was to have access to the legal system, but if you can not hire a lawyer then you get no access.” Anonymous Student “I've never considered myself to be "disabled", because my disabilities aren't physical. I supposed by inference of that statement, I've always seen Canberra as accessible. Sure, some road markings are a bit confusing and the endless construction and roadworks don't help but that happens everywhere. The only problem I've really encountered, in my day-to-day, is not finding a parking spot. I think I've been very lucky in that respect”
