“ILC funding is a nonsense because it runs out, it needs to be long term so org’s like @WWDA_AU and @VALID_Inc and others can not only survive but thrive” Let’s hope its the case, so many great ILC projects delivered by rights based org’s are worthy @inclusionoz

Sonia & Larry tell it how it is. “I think the law needs to be changed so we can get the same amount as everybody else in the world. To make us equal – equal to everybody,” "It’s against my human rights not to get paid a real wage.” @inclusionoz

People with intellectual disability are getting hourly wages that don’t even cover their bus trips to work. Advocates believe it’s time for a radical overhaul

@Spk0ut are so saddened by Mark’s passing. We are so fortunate to have had Mark touch our lives and be such an amazing mentor, colleague and friend.
We are devasted to learn of the passing of Mark Pattison. We have been speaking to people who worked with Mark during his 20 years as Executive Director of NCID and Inclusion Australia about his incredible legacy for people with an intellectual disability. https://t.co/KtNL8bCrwL
