We're committed to ensuring that people who live with disability have information about policies, programs and supports that are available to them to make sure that they are able to have a life of accessibility. That's why we have invested so strongly in the Disability Gateway, which assists not only people with disability but also their families, carers and the wider community to have a single source of trusted information, advice and referral services. I'm proud of all the work that we have done to support Australians with disability.

This year we rolled out the 'I Can' campaign to encourage Australians with disability to make sure that they are accessing the information that we hope will improve their lives. The ad campaign features people who live with disability—they're not actors; they're real people—and it has been a tremendous success. We will continue to work to make sure that we provide people with disability with the same opportunities that every other Australian takes for granted. (Time expired)
