STOP THE NDIS CUTS OCTOBER R4LLY POSTER RELEASED! GRAB YOURS AND SPREAD THE WORD!
At 1pm on October 27, Disabled people, our families, friends and allies will gather at Parliament House in Canberra to demand an NDIS that is Safe, Fair and Forever.
Every Australian matters. Every Australian STILL counts.
But radical cuts and drastic changes to the NDIS are harming people. Price freezes, travel restrictions and mass reassessments are forcing therapy and support services to close, slashing supports away to nothing, and leaving Disabled people in danger.
This protest is about survival, justice and dignity. It is about the right of every person to be safe, to have a fair go, and to have a secure future.

When: Monday 27 October, 1pm
