This World Su***de Prevention Day, we're thinking of all those affected by su***de.

This year’s theme, 'Changing the Narrative on Su***de', reminds us that the way we talk about su***de matters. When we replace silence with connection, stigma with understanding, and fear with compassion, we create space for people to feel heard and supported.

Today and any day, you can be there for those struggling, those living with loss, and those supporting others. A simple check‑in can be the start of a life‑changing conversation.

If you're going through a difficult time and need support, we encourage you to contact Lifeline on 13 11 14.

14,000 voices. And we’re not done yet.

PWDA presented our Change.org petition with more than 14,000 signatures this morning to Greens Senator Jordon Steele-John at a press conference alongside other disability representative organisations.

The Change.org petition shows the strong public support for our campaign.

People with disability should not be the ones paying for budget savings.

The Federal Budget proposes billions in savings that will directly impact the lives of people with disability's access to the supports we rely on to work, study, care for our families, and live full lives.

As PWDA Acting CEO Megan Spindler-Smith said: “You do not improve a government program by cutting the funding for that program.”

We will continue advocating for a more meaningful response that actually moves the dial on our full inclusion.

There’s still more to do. Our Parliamentary e-Petition 'Protect access to reasonable and necessary supports under the NDIS' is open until 27 May.

Let's get this support on permanent public record.

Sign, share and show your support. https://buff.ly/bGJfmrH
