In time for International Day of People with Disabilities, state Labor is committing to fund disability advocacy services in perpetuity, if it wins government in March.
It comes after the state government backflipped on a move to slash $13 million worth of services from the sector, restoring them for the next two years.
Retaining state-funded disability advocacy services was a recurring theme in the inquiry into the implementation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
Port Stephens MP Kate Washington says we need permanent certainty.
"Disability advocacy services do the hard work fighting for equality for people with disability. Their funding remains uncertain."
"Labor government is committed to funding disability advocacy services in NSW because we want them to be able to continue the important work that they do."
