The Disability Doesn’t Discriminate but the Government Does, is a national campaign launched this morning by Queensland’s Spinal Life Australia, aiming to prevent age discrimination against people aged over 65 living with a disability.
The campaign sheds light on the decision made in 2013 to exclude the National Disability Insurance Scheme from the Age Discrimination Act.
Spinal Life Australia Chief Executive Officer, Mark Townend, says age shouldn’t matter because disability can impact anyone at any time.
