Background

The National Disability Strategy 2010 - 2020 is up for review. The Department of Social Services has released a position paper to guide submissions in this review process. QDN is writing a submission and we would like to hear what you think. The review focuses on the outcome areas, accountability and reporting measures. The questions below will help inform the QDN submission. We would like to know how the National Disability Strategy has impacted your life already, and what you think should happen in the next ten years. 

The National Disability Strategy is the tool to implement the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disability in Australia. The strategy’s 6 outcome areas are:

1.    Work, money and housing
2.    Taking part in the community
3.    Our rights for fair treatment and safety
4.    Getting support
5.    Learning and skills
6.    Health and wellbeing

For more information, you can read the National Disability Strategy position paper here: https://engage.dss.gov.au/nds-stage2-consultation/national-disability-strategy-position-paper/
There are several formats, including Word and Easy Read.
