16.01.2022 Lucy’s* son, Jonathan*, communicates without speaking. He experienced bullying and discrimination from students and teachers at school. Lucy wanted to share Jonathan’s story with the Disability Royal Commission but wasn't sure how. She didn't want other people to have the same bullying experiences. After speaking with us, Lucy decided to make a public submission. Lucy thanked us for supporting her to decide the best way for her share her story.

12.01.2022 Akaash* called us because he was being discriminated against at work and by the police because of his disability. He wanted to share his story with the Disability Royal Commission but didn’t know how. He was worried what might happen to him if the people he named in his story found out. Akaash spoke to us. One of our lawyers explained how Akaash could get special legal protections to tell his story more safely. Our lawyer worked with the Royal Commission to get Akaash those special legal protections. With our support, Akaash shared his story with the Royal Commission in a way that was safe for him.

09.01.2022 Domestic servitude happens in Australia. Servitude is when a person does not think that they are free to stop working or to leave work, because of threats, lies or force. The person’s personal freedom has been taken away from them in areas of their life outside of work. Domestic servitude happens when the circumstances and conditions of domestic work turns into slavery-like practices.... Domestic servitude is a crime in Australia. https://vimeo.com/338788400 For more info visit recross.org.au/stpp #redcross #modernslavery #knowyourrights #australia #humantrafficking #stopslavery #stophumantrafficking

09.01.2022 Gillian* wanted to tell the Disability Royal Commission about her experiences as a person with disability. She wanted to name names at the Royal Commission, and we gave her advice on her options. Her story included problems she was having as a tenant, including a dispute with her landlord. The problems still affected Lucy, and we asked if she wanted further legal support. We introduced Lucy to the NT Legal Aid Tenancy team. She said our lawyer was the first person who has really pointed me in the right direction and I will always be grateful for that.For more info about Your Story Disability Legal Support: https://bit.ly/3kerxLJ *Not her real name.
