Dear Disability Advocacy secretariat,

We appreciate the opportunity to contribute to this consultation on the draft for a new National Disability Advocacy Framework 2022-2025 (the Framework).

Our disability advocacy organisation the Multicultural Disability Advocacy Association NSW Inc. (MDAA) would like to add our support to the submission by Disability Advocacy Network Australia (DANA) on the draft Framework and what is needed to realise its intended Outcomes.

We urge the Disability Reform Ministers and their respective governments to prioritise this work and make strong commitments on disability advocacy funding and collaboration to help realise the vision of Australia’s Disability Strategy 2021-31 and the National Disability Insurance Scheme: an Australia that includes and values people with disability and respects human rights for all.

Sincerely,
Susan Laguna
Executive Director
Multicultural Disability Advocacy Association NSW Inc. (MDAA)
