24.01.2022 COVID-19 It was a ‘serious failure’ that no Australian Government agency made ‘any significant effort’ to consult with people with disability during the early stages of the pandemic. This is what the Royal Commission said in its report to the Government after holding its 5th Public Hearing about ‘Experiences of people with disability during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic’. Here's a link to the full report https://disability.royalcommission.gov.au//report-public-h

19.01.2022 REMEMBRANCE DAY - Lest We Forget - 11 November At 11 am on 11 November 1918 the guns on the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of continuous w...arfare. #remembranceday in Australia is dedicated to Australians who died as a result of war, particularly from World War I onwards. A minute of silence is dedicated to the deceased, especially for soldiers who died fighting to protect the nation. https://www.awm.gov.au/commemora/remembrance-day/traditions

16.01.2022 The health and safety of our clients, staff, volunteers and members continues to remain our highest priority. We are closely monitoring the situation as the COV...ID-19 pandemic continues to escalate in South Australia and will comply with the Australian Government. We have closed our offices to the public from Wednesday 18 November however our aim is to continue to provide as many of the ADAI functions as possible. As the spread of the novel Coronavirus (COVID 19) widens we ask that you please do not attend the ADAI offices. We are keen to maintain contact via telephone or videoconferencing and we are contactable to our community members, however this will be done through non face to face contact. Our staff are doing everything possible to respond to all our clients and stakeholders needs. All our Services are being provided via phone, email and web chat, skype or other technology and we are happy to work with you on the best way to deliver our Advocacy and Support services to you. Maintaining our collective health and well-being is important and we are mindful of helping people through this uncertain time. We will continue to review our work and take measures with those recommended SA Government. For all ADAI Advocacy and Royal Commission services please phone (08) 8340 4450 or email [email protected] Thank you for your understanding Jennifer Hughes Executive Officer

02.01.2022 FAMILIES TALK ABOUT BARRIERS TO EDUCATION AT LATEST PUBLIC HEARING Students with disability, including children as young as five, are missing out on critical time in formal education. This can be due to suspensions and exclusions, a lack of supports, adjustments and oversight, and lack of financial support to ensure a safe, quality and inclusive education, the Royal Commission has heard.
