Your Voice
Our Voice
Australia’s voice for people with an intellectual disability and their families.
Working with you and your family to ‘have your say’ in disability services, legislation and policies.
Our Voice Australia is a national advocacy group that understands, sees and hears the unique needs of you and your family. Like you, we value the ‘lived experience’ of all family members, and we believe government and non-government agencies should too.
That’s why we work with you and for you to ‘have your say’ in services, legislation, policies and practices that impact you and your family. Together, with your voice and ours, we can better the lives of people with intellectual disability across the nation.
“Our loved ones with an intellectual disability often cannot read, write or communicate. They cannot self-advocate, nor navigate the complex systems in our society that matter to them.
They need more support from family to attain a normal life as they are more likely to suffer systemic neglect, marginalisation and abuse – more than any other group in society.”
~ Mary Walsh, Co-Founder, Our Voice Australia
