The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has been getting a lot of support and DisabiliTEA events will be held to spread awareness for the scheme. Even the politicians of all the parties have been backing up the scheme. Federal Labor MP David Bradbury and Liberal Senator Marise Payne both have attended the DisabiliTEA events and have shown their support for the cause.
On Tuesday, Northcott Disability Services was one of many local organizations that organized the DisabiliTEA. Also, Stawell Health and Community Centre and Skene Street School were among the other organizers.
The Every Australian Counts campaign has been receiving a warming welcome and around 900 people have participated in DisabiliTEA morning teas held on Tuesday. This scheme will assist the disabled people of Australia and their families. Till now, around 50,000 supporters have already signed up the Australian Counts campaign.
The Nationals Federal Member for Mallee, John Forrest, said that the Every Australian Counts campaign will help in the initiation of NDIS program.
Mr. Forrest stated, "Disability can happen to anyone. However, nobody wants to be seen as a victim or recipient of welfare and charity. But they do need help and such a scheme would provide assistance with dignity”.
