A Strong Voice: Self-Advocacy
‘A Strong Voice’ will focus on self-advocacy, and how people with disability take control of their own lives to speak for themselves with greater confidence. Our panel of guests will discuss ways that self-advocacy has helped them to make informed choices about their reasonable and necessary supports and achieve their personal goals as valued, contributing and included members of the community. Our guests will answer your questions about how to build self-advocacy into your own life.

NDIS trials to cost further $400m
Dan Harrison, Sydney Morning Herald, 14th February 2014
Federal Labor's rush to launch the National Disability Insurance Scheme before last year's election contributed to it underestimating the cost of trials by almost $400 million, the Coalition says.
