Women With Disabilities ACT (WWDACT) is grateful for the opportunity to make a submission to the Third Action Plan consultation, and for the support of the Office for Women in facilitating consultations with our membership.

This submission is informed by in-depth guided conversations with our Policy Advisory Committee (PAC), and by a conversation facilitated by the Office for Women with our broader membership. WWDACT also hosted a survey for members who preferred to contribute written suggestions – we received three responses through this platform. This qualitative evidence base is complemented by a literature review, confirming that the issues raised in our consultations are felt by a significant population of people across the ACT.
