National Ethnic Disability Alliance (NEDA) has begun a campaign to lobby for the migration issues for people from culturally diverse and non-English speaking backgrounds.
Actions being called for:
• Application of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) to the migration Act
• Withdrawal of the interpretive declaration made upon ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities pertaining to the health requirements for non nationals
• Application of DDA to Social Security Act
To improve the situation of people from non-English speaking backgrounds with disability, please write a letter and/or meet with your local member and ask them what they will do to change the points identified in the Facts Sheet.
For more information and to report responses, please contact Zeliha Iscel on mobile 044 772 4001 or email zel@neda.org.au.
Scope has joined a coalition of groups representing people with a disability, families and service providers to lobby for a National Disability Insurance Scheme. The coalition believes a strong collective voice is required to ensure the needs of Australians with a disability and their families are finally placed on the political and public agenda.
When: Friday 6th August.
Action: Visit your Federal or State Member of Parliament to share your story. Share your current difficulties and challenges with the system, how it is letting you down and the difference a National Disability Insurance Scheme would make.
To register your interest in being part of National Visiting Day please contact Ruby Dubash on 9843 3043 or email rdubash@scopevic.org.au.
