Introduction

What is One Voice Disability Network?

An organisation, independent of government funding, formed to lobby Federal and State politicians and other decision makers about issues and concerns relating to all areas of disability.

Why "One Voice?"

To bring together, to network, people who as individuals do not have the voice of people
en-masse.

Why another organisation?

Because we need to lobby government to bring about choice and diversity in all areas of service provision.

What are we lobbying for?

Different people have different needs. One Voice recognises this. One Voice promotes parents inclusion in decision making regarding services for loved ones who can not advocate for themselves.

How are we organised?

By setting up groups in local government areas and Human Services catchment areas. The network will liasise with other groups advocating for disabled people, via churches, the media, councils and community based groups to develop community awareness.
