Emma's Quest

Emma's Quest I am Emma. I have Cerebral Palsy and Dystonia. This page is for my friends and supporters to join me on my journey to live my best life. Hi. My name is Emma.

This is my page sharing with you my Quest for independence after suffering from an undiagnosed and untreated stroke during birth that left me with permanent brain damage and physical disability. Living with Cerebral Palsy, Dystonia and Epilepsy is frustrating and makes me sad sometimes, but most days I am happy. I live with my mum Doreen in Edmonton, just South of Cairns, in Far North Queensland,

Australia. We love living here. But because Cairns is so far away from the rest of Australia, the access to therapies, treatments, specialist therapists and equipment is limited which means we often travel to Sydney to access therapies, trial equipment and get advice from specialists. Mum organises everything and because there is no funding (yet) in FNQ to help me, she fundraises all the time to pay for all of it. This is very hard work and many times we cannot play because we have to go out to fundraise together. Mum has done really well over the past 7 years and I have met amazing therapists who have taught me everything I can do today. But I still have a few things that I want to learn, like sitting on a chair or on the floor without falling off / over and getting back up all by myself. This sounds too easy for you but it is actually very hard for me since the stroke destroyed the parts of my brain that coordinates my muscles and stops the reflexes that make me fall over. Welcome to my page and thank you for sharing my Quest with me.

"Cut spending" is not the same as cutting the lifeline of hundreds of thousands of vulnerable Australians to save a few bucks!
What is wrong with our elected representatives that they cannot understand this???
Jenny McAllister

Health Minister Mark Butler is open to adjusting the proposed National Disability Insurance Scheme changes, but insists the government is on the right track.

I am ashamed to have a government that believes the Bill will benefit Australians living with a disability.
The proposed legislation is harmful and removes our Human Rights.
The fraud has been enabled by every government since the inception of the NDIS. We told you! You did not listen! Stop punishing us for your negligence, your oversights and inefficiencies!
