Families

Join us in building a stronger voice for people with intellectual disability and their families. 

Inclusion Australia is committed to making sure the voice of families is heard, captured, and represented in our systemic advocacy work. 

We believe that families have the capacity to respond to emerging policy issues related to their lived experience with their family member with an intellectual disability. 

We aim to be a trusted source of information and create opportunities for families to take part in consultations and shape change.

We advocate for

  • Families to stay involved in the life of their family member with an intellectual disability
  • People with an intellectual disability, families, and support services to work together to reach their goals
  • Families to support people with an intellectual disability to build their skills, confidence, and self-advocacy
  • Families to support people to speak up for themselves. This includes people who may need extra help to have their voice heard.
  • Families to have opportunities to share their experiences with government. This helps make better policies, programs, and services.

You can find resources and information to help families and carers support their family member with an intellectual disability on our Families webpage.
