Employment rights and opportunities have been a key focus of our advocacy work this year.

Through our Right to Work campaign and ongoing advocacy, we’ve continued to push for:

— fair pay and conditions
— funding for programs that work
— real choice for people with Down syndrome.

In this video, members of the Down Syndrome Victoria Advisory Network share what work means to them and why change is needed.

We’ll continue this work in 2026.

Our latest submission highlights that the Disability Discrimination Act needs to change. It must be made clearer and easier to use, especially the complaints process.

The Disability Discrimination Act is a law which tells everyone in Australia that they must treat people with disability fairly. However, it is unnecessarily complex.

We call for a commitment to improve discrimination legislation to ensure they support everyone's human rights.
