@Graemeinnes Stay well Graeme.

I've ducked and dived, isolated, vaxed to the max, but it's finally got me. Tested positive this morning. Resting up and hoping for a mild dose. Stay vigilant people, 50 Australians a day are still dying from this.

Want to make a difference to the lives of people with #disability? Systemic advocate job going with @advocacynsw ... and we’ll love having another person to share the load with! @IDEASAU @NSWADC @SCIAust @ProBonoNews

Current Advocacy Focus #3 We're very concerned about the proposed NDIS individual assessment process. PWD shouldn't have to tell their story or disability history over and over. Adequately qualified, experienced and disability-knowledge specific assessors are required.

Come and celebrate International Day of People With Disability this Thursday as we look at how the changes brought about by COVID-19 create an opportunity to build a more inclusive society for people with disability. eventbrite.com.au/e/building-bac…

So great to be able to look forward now & focus on how we build an even stronger, more robust Disability Advocacy Futures Program that provides vital advocacy, information & representation supports for the 1.37 million people with disability in NSW. Thanks @GladysB @garethjward

This is a win for people with disability in NSW who rely on advocacy, and who have campaigned tirelessly for this funding. #standbymeNSW #advocacymatters @GladysB @garethjward @PWDAustralia @CIDvoice @PDCNSW @IDRS_NSW @StrokeNsw @SCIAust @ParaQuadNSW @advocacynsw

When 90% of people with disability do not receive support under the NDIS, advocacy both individual & systemic is essential. Time for the NSW Gov to provide certainty to our disability advocacy organisations. #nswpol #nswbudget

Funding for #advocacy is a smart investment- it sorts issues out early and helps people with #disability to live healthily and happily. #standbymeNSW #advocacymatters @GladysB @garethjward @PWDAustralia @CIDvoice @PDCNSW @IDRS_NSW @StrokeNsw @SCIAust @ParaQuadNSW @advocacynsw

Advocates are there to be in your corner and be a voice for you when you need one. We need to know that they're here to stay. #standbymeNSW #advocacymatters @GladysB @garethjward @PWDAustralia @CIDvoice @PDCNSW @IDRS_NSW @StrokeNsw @SCIAust @ParaQuadNSW @advocacynsw

Independent #disability #advocacy should always be there as a safety net for anyone who needs it! Having information & support saves lives #standbymeNSW #advocacymatters @GladysB @garethjward @PWDAustralia @CIDvoice @PDCNSW @IDRS_NSW @StrokeNsw @SCIAust @ParaQuadNSW @advocacynsw

NSW is reviewing its Disability Inclusion Plan. Have your say now on what you think is important in the next version by completing their survey.let’s make sure it’s what people with #disability want! @PWDAustralia @CIDvoice @austdisability @StrokeNsw @ParaQuadNSW @FamAdvocacyNSW

Loss of advocacy funding would be disastrous for people with #disability. That's why we need #advocacy funding secured for the long term. #standbymeNSW #advocacymatters @GladysB @garethjward @PWDAustralia @CIDvoice @PDCNSW @IDRS_NSW @StrokeNsw @SCIAust @ParaQuadNSW @advocacynsw

Sometimes everyone needs advocacy. We can be literate, intelligent & independent but there can be times where navigating complex systems takes those with greater expertise than ourselves, or the ability to take emotion out of the equation. #standbymensw @DRC_AU @PIACnews @NSWADC

#Advocacy helps level the playing field during the most difficult of times #standbymeNSW #advocacymatters @GladysB @garethjward @PWDAustralia @CIDvoice @PDCNSW @IDRS_NSW @StrokeNsw @SCIAust @ParaQuadNSW @advocacynsw

"This year has been like no other & the value of community & #advocacy gps like @Spk0ut has been very evident throughout" @jeremyrockliff Minister for Disability & Comm #TakingChargeMakingChange @dana_advocacy @DarleneMcLennan @ainehillbilly @inclusionoz @VALID_Inc @CIDvoice

Advocacy can make all the difference. That's why we're asking the NSW Government to continue to support independent #disability #advocacy #standbymeNSW #advocacymatters @GladysB @garethjward @PWDAustralia @CIDvoice @PDCNSW @IDRS_NSW @StrokeNsw @SCIAust @ParaQuadNSW @advocacynsw

This is why funding for #disability #advocacy is so important! #standbymeNSW #advocacymatters @GladysB @PWDAustralia @CIDvoice @PDCNSW @IDRS_NSW @StrokeNsw @SCIAust @ParaQuadNSW @advocacynsw

Sometimes all you need is someone in your corner to help you get the best outcome. People with #disability need long term funding for independent #advocacy. #standbymeNSW #advocacymatters @GladysB @PWDAustralia @CIDvoice @PDCNSW @IDRS_NSW @StrokeNsw @SCIAust @advocacynsw
