Federal Budget

Each year in May, the Federal Budget is announced and it ahs very important ramifications for children with a disability and their families across all areas of Australia.

While much of the media attention on the budget tends to be concentrated during the period immediately before and after the budget is delivered, the cycle of decision making for each budget begins much earlier.

If you have ideas and suggestions for what the Federal Budget should deliver for children of a disability and their families please don’t hesitate to contact us.

AAFCD made a pre-budget submission for the 2009-10 Federal Budget. The priorities identified were:

1. Accommodation
2. Income Support
3. Workforce Participation
4. Aids and Equipment
5. Early Years
