Great to hear Anika Wells MP talking about innovative models of #agedcare. A real opportunity for leadership. To support innovation we need a funding commitment for demonstration projects that replace the current antiquated models of care #HumanRights ADA Australia

While International #HumanRightsDay is almost over, the messaging from ADA Australia is alive and well. We all expect our #HumanRights will endure. #age or #Disability must not diminish our ability to be part of the decision making process that impacts us.
