Wodonga disability activist and mum to a son with autism, Jen Tait, and Gateway Health’s Community Inclusion and Population Health manager and mum to a son with a disability, Toni Reeves, have put their concerns on the public record.

Ms Tait wrote a moving letter to the member for Indi, Cathy McGowan, seeking a fair go for people living with disabilities on the Border.

“All people with disabilities should have the opportunity to choose and create a good life in the community free of control by services and organisations, able to live interdependently, with quality links in community where they are known, seen, valued and have meaningful relationships with people outside of the service system,” Ms Tait wrote.
