Introduction

Thank you for taking the time to complete this 2nd survey of the disability advocacy sector in 2020. This survey is conducted by Disability Advocacy Network Australia (DANA). The survey was designed and will be analysed by consultant researcher and person with lived experience of disability, Polly Lisa Bennett.

Purpose

The aim of this 2nd survey is to:
  1. Increase understanding of the impact of COVID-19 and associated lockdown measures (‘the COVID-19 period’) on disability advocacy and on people with disability.
  2. Assist DANA in promoting measures (including funding where necessary) to better prepare both independent disability advocacy organisations and people with disability, for future disaster response and recovery.
As always, the primary goal of DANA’s work is to promote the rights of people with disability and to strengthen disability advocacy organisations across Australia.
