What have our members been doing?
AFDO members are from a diverse range of backgrounds, and cover many different issues relevant to the disability community. This new section of the AFDO newsletter is designed to keep you up to date on one or two key activities of each member organisation. We’d love to hear what you think of this idea!
Blind Citizens Australia: From the beginning of May BCA has run a postcard campaign called “It’s Our Turn Now” aiming to see audio description introduced into cinemas.
Brain Injury Australia: Has been busily promoting the impact of Fall Related Trauma through articles and speeches.
National Ethnic Disability Alliance: NEDA has just released a report called “This is My Home: Belonging, Disability and Diversity” which draws on focus groups held earlier this year to describe what cultural and linguistic inclusion means for people with disability from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. The report can be found at: http://neda.org.au/page/cultural_and_linguistic_inclusion.html
