Strategic Directions

The strategic directions which underpin our current Business and Advocacy Action Plan are:

Advocacy loud and clear

We will be loud, clear, visible and effective in our public policy advocacy to decision-makers at the national level.

Community awareness

We will extend the effectiveness of our community awareness work through astute
use of opportunities in the media.

Collaboration

We will build stronger collaborative relationships with other organisations and networks that
are working to improve services and support for families of children and young adults with
a disability.

Community and business

We will think and act creatively to harness the goodwill in the community and business sectors towards families of children with a disability.

Information for families

We will work with government and community organisations to promote better access to information about new policies and programs for families of children with a disability.

Celebrating achievements

At the family, community and national level, we will encourage celebration of the achievements and successes of children with a disability and their families.

Strength in numbers

We will continue to strengthen our grass-roots membership base of families and community supporters from all states and territories.

Financial planning

We will no longer be shy in requesting the funding we need from government and the community to run AAFCD as an efficient and effective national organisation for families.
