Topic: Disability

'By us, for us: A disability messaging guide' is the first phase of ongoing narrative work led by people with disability and supported by Disability Advocacy Network Australia (DANA), Common Cause Australia and the Centre for Australian Progress.

Following the Disability Royal Commission and the NDIS Review, advocates have an important window of opportunity to reframe conversations about the NDIS and disability supports in ways that centre the strengths of the disability community, demonstrate practical concepts of self determination, create shared values, and share a vision for the future where people with disability live fulfilling and independent lives. The guide provides disability advocates and allies with the narrative tools to advocate for these crucial changes. 

The full message guide, summary guide and Easy Read version, as well as a recording of the launch webinar can all be found on the project website.
