Guess what day it is? It's day one!
Today Disabled people and our supporters begin twelve days of action to protect our NDIS.
We are kicking off the campaign by sharing our powerful, personal stories with political decision-makers. We are going to let them know what the NDIS means for us and how devastating cuts will be to our lives.
To start, head to the DPAC Australia website and click on Get Involved, then Day One. You'll find a guide to sharing your story as well as three options for taking action. https://www.dpacaustralia.net/get-involved
Day One is here ---->https://www.dpacaustralia.net/get-involved/day-1
Every single action has an impact. Every single action counts.
Government is counting on us to be tired and quiet (and let's be real, maybe we are just a little bit tired). But we are also powerful, united and ready. Let's show this government that our lives are not an easy target for their budget savings.

Missy lives in Ballarat and is one of our new facilitators starting an ABI peer support group in Ballarat in mid-March. Missy says ‘I want to welcome people and help them get out of the house. Everybody has a brain. Everyone matters.’

Following a stroke, Missy’s biggest achievement was travelling to England unassisted. One of the biggest challenges has been ‘trying to manage my body - wearing an AFO and managing Trevor, my paralysed arm, who goes with me wherever I go!’ Missy’s interests include being a marriage celebrant and making collage art.
