Human rights and advocacy are fundamental to our work. Under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disability, we work to ensure our community promotes, protects and ensures the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by all persons with disabilities, and to promote respect for their inherent dignity. We believe advocacy plays a key role in ensuring the voices of people with disability are heard and our rights are upheld.
We believe it is important that people with disability can access independent individual, citizen and systemic advocacy. We believe systemic advocacy, led by people with disability is critical in working with organisations, Government and systems to identify issues and co-design potential solutions.
