24.01.2022 David* came to us with a problem. His daughter Sarah’s* home group evicted her during COVID-19. When she was evicted, David and his family struggled to give Sarah the support she needed. David wasn’t sure if the eviction was legal. We introduced David to NT Legal Aid's Housing team who called him to provide legal advice the next week. We also talked to David about the different ways he could share the story with the Disability Royal Commission David decided he wanted to correct Sarah’s housing situation first. He might talk to the Royal Commission about the story later. For more info about Your Story Disability Legal Support: https://bit.ly/3kerxLJ *Not their real names

17.01.2022 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.

07.01.2022 Gillian* wanted to tell the Disability Royal Commission about her experiences as a person with disability.

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.

03.01.2022 Susan* lives with different disabilities. She uses an interpreter to communicate. Susan wanted to tell the Disability Royal Commission about her experiences growing up. She valued her privacy and didn't want anyone to know her story, or that she’d shared it with the Royal Commission. Using an interpreter, we worked with Susan to support her to register for and take part in a private session. Susan told her story in a safe and private way and at the end of the session she said she felt "great".
