  • Joint submission to the General Foundational Supports consultation

    Joint submission to the General Foundational Supports consultation

    Last week WWDACT, along with Women with Disabilities Australia and Women with Disabilities Victoria, made our submission to the General Foundational Supports consultation process. This submission includes the survey report from our joint survey a couple of months ago, which received just under 200 responses nationwide. A massive thank you to everyone who contributed to this work, through a survey submission, conversations with our team, or feedback on the final product. 

    We’re looking forward to continuing working with the ACT and Federal governments, along with our sister organisations, as they keep developing this new system of supports.

  • Submission to the ACT Women’s Plan (Third Action Plan)

    Submission to the ACT Women’s Plan (Third Action Plan)

    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.
