"We see this as WORLDS BEST PRACTICE - Office of then Minister, The Hon Bill Shorten. We have escalating mental health and over 9 suicides a day. In 30 seconds you will understand how just one of IDA's initiatives is changing and saving lives. Please share! @CatherineKingMP @AlboMP @Mark_Butler_MP x.com/PatMcGorry x.com/suzanneorrmla/status/1…

Inclusion matters. When people are repeatedly exposed to psychologically or physically unsafe interactions to participate in society, the harm becomes cumulative. As long as we continue to focus on marginalised groups and particular disabilities millions of us are excluded.

We get abused for using disabled parking and toilets because we look ok invisibledisabilities.com.au #NONEEDTOEXPLAIN

Parcel Locker @auspost have urgent medical supplies stuck in a parcel locker. No QR or password sent I’ve tried everything can’t wait 48 hours Australia Post Australia Post say manager has Emergency Over ride but my PO manager says he does not. Without these supplies I could end up in emergency Feeling stressed. Small things like this cause escalation of mental health. Including having to repeat a 20 number tracking code all day #auspol

The lack of understanding of the needs of people who are not seen as or defined as disabled contributes to escalating mental health and over 8 suicides a day that we know of. This is our life! youtube.com/shorts/t8PSZ8zMT…

Professor @PatMcGorry is right, NDIS is the bottom of the cliff, we need more support at the top of the cliff. How can we change Community Attitudes, remove barriers. The Disability Royal Commission supported IDA's top of the cliff innovations, practices and innovations.

Airport security still a huge issue for people with disabilities and chronic health conditions. Causing exacerbation of mental health of Australians. @CatherineKingMP @AlboMP @Mark_Butler_MP

WHAT ABOUT US CAMPAIGN. What about the 12.6 million people in Australia with chronic health conditions (ABS NHS 2022). if we continue to see inclusion through the lens of marginalised groups and particular 'disabilities' we will never get there. This view contributes to escalating mental health and suicide rates. @AmandaRishworth @CatherineKingMP @AlboMP @billshortenvcuc @4corners @frankelly08 @PhillipAdams_1 @PatsKarvelas @SatPaper x.com/Channel9 @CarthyJoanne x.com/newcastleherald/status… @adele_ferguson

Still targeted and abused at airports, still no queue priority, chairs, disabled parking, and if only Stela Young was still here. ted.com/speakers/stella_youn…

SEVERE LACK OF DISABLED PARKING PREVENTS PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES FROM FULLY PARTICIPATING IN SOCIETY.- People with disabilities, older people and people with chronic health conditions have to get taxis to go to the dr, chemist or to socialise with friend and family.

CHAIRS FOR RETAIL WORKERS - Why can't they sit? Let's look out for each other. The Supermarket Code of Conduct Inquiry forgot to include workers and consumers needs. Next time you are in @bigw @woolworths @Coles @BunningsNPC @ChemistWhouse @Officeworks or any other outlet including @auspost consider asking for the manager and asking why their checkout operators and other employees don't have chairs to sit on. I have asked so many employees if chairs are available and they say "Oh we wish" and often say their backs legs feet are in agony during and throughout shifts and chairs would be amazing. @unionsaustralia Invisible Disabilities Australia is Canberra based - supported by The Disability Royal Commission. @BCAcomau @jenniferwestacott @R_Scott88 @Wesfarmers
