giving canberrans the SUPPORT THEY NEED, WHEN THEY NEED IT.
The Greens want Canberra to be a place where everyone can live their lives to the fullest.
That means supporting people to have choice and control, and early access to supports, to achieve their life goals.
But we need to restore confidence in the ACT’s support system. It is too often dependent on first receiving a medical diagnosis, for which there are long wait lists, and is unaffordable for thousands of Canberrans who cannot access an NDIS plan.
DEDICATED centre for neurodiverGENCE
Every Canberran deserves to live a full and happy life.
But at the moment, thousands of people who are neurodivergent are waiting months - if not years - to get a diagnosis and the support they need to live their lives to the fullest.
That's why the ACT Greens will establish a dedicated centre that provides free information, support and assessments for people who are neurodivergent and their families.
THE ACT GREENS WILL:
- Establish a Centre for Neurodivergence
- Provide free advice, support, assessment and diagnosis
- Connect peer groups with each other and with supports to improve their lives.
