The disability advocacy sector continues to face challenges due to the lack of funding to meet demand. Data suggests that at least half of people with disability who need an advocate are turned away due to insufficient advocacy support being available. We know there are even more people with intellectual disability who do not know they can access advocacy support.

DANA has submitted a pre-Budget submission detailing the urgent need for more funding for all disability advocacy organisations. You can read the submission now on the DANA website.
