In the lead up to the upcoming Victorian State Election on 28 November 2026, VALID presents its Election Statement reflecting the priorities of the intellectual disability sector.

VALID CEO Fionn Skiotis and self advocates Greg and Taj spoke to 3CR Thursday Breakfast about the impacts of the NDIS Bill changes on people with intellectual disability and their families.

The NDIS Bill has passed the Senate. Forcing 240,000 people off the NDIS strips away vital lifelines and basic human rights, VALID warns.

A.D. Lang, a barrister specialising in corporate and non-profit meetings, gives legal advice about people with intellectual disability on boards.

Katy and Inez joined 3CR to discuss how the NDIS Amendment Bill 2026 impacts people with intellectual disability and their families.

VALID’s recent submission to the Senate Community Affairs Legislation Committee condemns the NDIS Amendment Bill 2026 in its current form.

The 2026 Advocacy in Action Conference was held on 22–23 June at the Novotel Preston during a period of significant change across the disability sector. Delegates heard from self advocates, national disability organisations, researchers, legal experts and government representatives, creating opportunities to learn from different perspectives while building stronger connections across the sector.
