WHAT WOMEN WANT: AN NDIS FOR WOMEN WITH DISABILITY

>From November 27 - December 3 2011 the Women's Centre for Health
Matters is supporting the Every Australian Counts campaign's 'Spread the
Word Week'. We have released an article exploring why changing the
disability support system through the National Disability Insurance
Scheme (NDIS) is so important for women with disabilities in the ACT.
