You never know when you, your children or your loved ones may be thrust into the world of disability through no fault of their own. You also never know when you may be thrust into the role as a carer for a person with a disability….. this issue is EVERYONES business.
The Samuel Morris Foundation is a signatory to the push for a National Disability Insurance Scheme.

Organisations can still endorse the NDIS and display their name on the website. People with a disability and their families can also share their story in the Have Your Say pages.

Then, please also engage other people with a disability, other carers, your disability services, family and your friends to join the growing band of supporters for a National Disability Insurance Scheme.
