State Election 2010

NO GAP - NO WAIT 2010 State Election Campaign

The next State Election will be held on Saturday 27 November. After listening to our members and hearing the challenges that people are facing when they contact us for assistance, our Association has prioritised the key issues for children with a disability and families that need to be addressed by the next State Government.

These priorities form the cornerstone of our NO GAP – NO WAIT 2010 State Election Campaign:

•    Education and Early Childhood Development
•    Disability Funding
•    Aids and Equipment
