1. Fairness<\/h2>People with a disability have equal rights<\/h3>
While the recognition of equal rights among peoples of all races, colours and creeds is now near universally established, those with a disability still struggle on the margins of recognition.<\/p>
By being among the first countries to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD), Australia has recognised that equal rights extend to people with a disability.<\/p>
2. Facilitation<\/h2>Supports are needed to allow people with a disability to exercise their rights.<\/h3>
People with a disability have been denied access, hidden and ignored. They and their families are arguably the most disadvantaged of all Australians across much of our society.<\/p>
If people with a disability are to exercise their human rights, they need a range of facilitators to help them negotiate this \u2018inaccessible\u2019 able-bodied world.<\/p>
3. Choice<\/h2>Individuals with a disability should have choice in prescribing their access needs.<\/h3>
A critical component of the NDIS framework is the dismantling of rationed, block-funded Government purchasing of a narrowly defined suite of services.<\/p>
Individuals with a disability will have the purchasing power to choose what their supports look like.<\/p>
4. Inclusion<\/h2>Cultural, systemic and environmental obstacles to access and participation for people with a disability should be removed.<\/h3>
A potential limiting factor for successful change relates to the current obstacles to allowing people with a disability access to mainstream services.<\/p>
Australian Governments and community need to work together to systematically facilitate access to mainstream services for all people.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
