Demand 1: Offset wellbeing costs
Reduce the cost of living with a disability. Provide access to resources such
as medical cards, counselling services and personal assistance.
Demand 2: Cut waiting lists
Cut waiting lists for eye care through improved regional centres and staffing
levels.
Demand 3: Genetic testing
Everyone has a right to a genetic diagnosis. A national registry will provide
access to personalised medicine and clinical trials.
Demand 4: Access to therapies
Life-changing treatments and therapies are available. If the cure is waiting,
we shouldn't be.
