Advocacy win! 🎉 The Federal Government have amended Migration Regulations that have discriminated against people with disability. The Migration Regulation has been changed to remove the health-related criteria for visas. This criteria made many children and people with disability ineligible for a visa due to the potential cost of healthcare or community services. You can read more about these changes through Welcoming Disability. This changes has been years in the making – thank you everyone who has been part of this advocacy to Government. 🥳 Welcoming Disability is a joint civil society campaign led by Australian Lawyers for Human Rights and Down Syndrome Australia.
