The @DRC_AU is an important opportunity to shed light on the systemic issues people with disability face & for those who've been mistreated to share their stories and be respectfully listened to.

We’re celebrating our 2nd birthday! 🥳
In 2 years, we’ve supported hundreds of people with disability, as well as their family, friends, carers & advocates, to share their story with the Disability Royal Commission.
Watch this video to see what we’ve achieved. #YourStoryTurns2
