Inclusion matters. When people are repeatedly exposed to psychologically or physically unsafe interactions to participate in society, the harm becomes cumulative. As long as we continue to focus on marginalised groups and particular disabilities millions of us are excluded.

Professor @PatMcGorry is right, NDIS is the bottom of the cliff, we need more support at the top of the cliff. How can we change Community Attitudes, remove barriers. The Disability Royal Commission supported IDA's top of the cliff innovations, practices and innovations.

Dear Professor. !2.6 million people in Australia have a chronic health conditions including cancer. We are ot defined as 'Disabled" There is no obvious sign that we are suffering, need chairs, lower counters, can not be manhandled and abused at airports. Get abused for using disabled toilets because we don't look, and are not defined, as disabled. Please help us to make the Invisible visible. Im in my 4th battle with cancer and like you I put on a brave face.

It’s been a busy (& tough at times) past 3 weeks. My brain tumour continues to grow & now is involving both left & right sides of my brain. A right side focus is both hotter and bigger so I have been receiving bilateral radiotherapy for 3 weeks (on Monday to Friday). I’m a bit “zonked” but otherwise feeling fine. The team tells me that it could take a few weeks to recover from (good luck holding me back 😜)! Special thanks for the many amazing people who, with great passion, are providing me & my close family and friends with excellent care. My medical team continue to provide fantastic care including Neuro-oncologist Helen Wheeler, Radiation Oncologist Michael Back, Clinical Care Neuro-oncology Coordinator Marina Kastelan and Neuro-radiologist Jamie Drummond. Both Katie & I really appreciate the support we receive from the medical team and our family (son Matt is in the first photo with me) and friends xxxxxooooo!! #glioblastoma #braincancer #Brainstorm @NthSydHealth @COBLH @SydneyLHD @Sydney_Uni

@Mon4Kooyong We need to support people traumatised by domestic violence Many of them suffer PTSD and suffer disproportionately when approached by eg airport security for pat down. What seems a simple procedure for many of us, is terrifying for people with chronic health conditions.

Today, on National Domestic Violence Remembrance Day, we acknowledge the trauma and grief of those affected by family violence. We commit to ongoing and meaningful reform to honor those lost to domestic violence, and to protect those still at risk.

Looks like a medical condition, people often make assumptions about people with tremor's, Parkinson's, acquired brain injuries, walk past people with drop epilepsy - don't support them, stop them entering premises, because they assume they are drunk. A young woman with early onset Parkinson's went shopping alone and security called police who accused her of being drunk and disorderly. We are regularly humiliated and assaulted at airports @AlboMP @AmandaRishworth @SenKatyG @SenatorJordon

WHAT ABOUT US CAMPAIGN. What about the 12.6 million people in Australia with chronic health conditions (ABS NHS 2022). if we continue to see inclusion through the lens of marginalised groups and particular 'disabilities' we will never get there. This view contributes to escalating mental health and suicide rates. @AmandaRishworth @CatherineKingMP @AlboMP @billshortenvcuc @4corners @frankelly08 @PhillipAdams_1 @PatsKarvelas @SatPaper x.com/Channel9 @CarthyJoanne x.com/newcastleheral… @adele_ferguson

No idea the mental health and suicides caused by lack of service provision equally across society, what it means to be poor. Means testing MY Aged Care applicants but not NDIS. Older people forced into downsizing by high rates, then penalised with high strata levies can't then afford daily rates. @AlboMP @billshortenvcuc @AmandaRishworth

Bill Shorten is getting $860,000-a-year as vice-chancellor of the University of Canberra. Is he still getting his parliamentary pension too? These people ruin our economy and then rake in a fortune. They are parasites on the public purse. PARASITES.

@Mon4Kooyong We are also seeing poor policies for people with disabilities. Focusing on marginalised groups and selected disabilities. This excludes thd needs of 12.6 million of us with chronic health conditions. (NHS 2022)

Greg Jericho couldn't have said it any better. 2025 needs to surpass 2024 when it comes to serious action on climate change, and right now, we are seeing two major parties bring to the election poor policy on this. The LNP is pitching their nuclear policy, which lacks crucial details, while the ALP is allowing the Australian people to focus on the poor quality of the nuclear proposal, without pushing a stronger solution of their own. Keep this in mind when you head to the polls folks. theguardian.com/business/grogo…

Meanwhile Prime Minister @AlboMP you completely ignore daily abuse and serious discrimination of people at airports. 12.6 million Australians have chronic health conditions. They cant stand in queues, are abused for not looking disabled at parking and toilets. Millions of us are invisible amp.abc.net.au/article/104680…

The vile graffiti we’ve seen overnight, including at the Newtown Synagogue, is abhorrent and needs to stop immediately. Australia is a better place than this. We made it illegal to use Nazi and other hate symbols because there’s no place in Australia for antisemitism. The people that committed these crimes should face the full force of the law.

@AlboMP Invisible Disabilities Australia the only disability org to make submissions for people with disabilities. Support aisles, chairs for all including checkout operators who stand in one spot for hours. Insufferable pain and exclusion.

@AlboMP Where do 12.6 people with chronic health needs go when there is a national disaster? How are they recognised and supported by first responders. We can’t queue, we need diabetic medications, we need colostomy supplies. We can die because your government have failed us.

Assistance is on the way for communities affected by the devastating bushfires in Victoria. Emergency relief payments are now available for Victorians who live in an evacuation area.
