Disability organisations ‘on life support’ say budget cuts will force them to wind back services

Disability groups say federal budget funding cuts will leave them less able to support vulnerable Australians as the government rolls out widespread changes to services and supports.

The Australian Federation of Disability Organisations (AFDO) says some of the groups it represents are on “life support” with their funding cut to $143,000 per organisation each year, which staff say is not enough to continue advocacy and education work.
