Tonight's #Budget2022 needs to make more accessible housing available for people with #disability - 375 days is too long to wait for priority public housing:

MEDIA RELEASE: Budget – Good initiatives but disability focus lacking wwdact.org.au/2022/08/02/med…

It’s important to understand that for some women with #disability, they simply CAN’T leave. Particularly if the perpetrator is also their carer/support person. @QandA @WWDA_AU

Great question from @WWDACT CEO Kat Reed on the prevalence of violence against disabled women on tonight’s #QandA - we must count it!

@WomenEnabled #Covid had a disproportionate impact on women + women with disabilities. Those from minorities with disabilities, included high levels of violence, and our basic needs were ignored. #COSP15

Good to see strong youth representation in the Australian civil society delegation to this week's #COSP15. #EveryoneIncluded

🇦🇺 is pleased to offer strong support for the re-election of @RosemaryKayess - a powerful human rights advocate & esteemed academic - to the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (#CRPD). We seek the valuable support of states parties at 🗳️elections on 🗓️14 June.

We are excited to wish our CEO @kat_reedact the best as they join the Australian Civil Society Delegation at the 15th session of the United Nations Conference of State Parties to the CRPD at the UN Headquarters in New York this week! #COSP15 #CRPD #DisabilityRights

Wishing a CEO the best attending #COSP15 this week!

From me, @gemcarey, @Ellie_Malbon and @Jen_Hargrave in @ConversationEDU: how the #AdministrativeBurden of the #NDIS has gendered implications - thanks to partners @WWDACT and @WDVtweet 1/ theconversation.com/women-make-up-…

Free tests should be available to people with disability, their families and workers. People will be eating into their current funding to do this. We support that RATs should be free and easily accessible for all people, so we ensure that we keep each other safe.

@ACOSS @RNBreakfast Stage Three Tax Cuts are costing the Budget $16b per annum, 2/3 are going to men in top 10%. We were already collecting 9th lowest revenue base amongst OECD countries. Second wealthiest country in world yet have 3 mill inc women & children in poverty & big gaps in care services

ACTCOSS today expressed its deep concern about the Federal Government’s proposed voter ID reforms which if passed, will further entrench those that are already struggling. Read the media release: actcoss.org.au/news-events/me…
