Disabled people and carers have been left out of the Government’s stimulus package and they need support to get through this crisis.

The Disability Support Pension and Carer Payment exist in recognition of the fact that disabled people and carers have higher everyday costs and face significant barriers to entering the workforce.

Like everyone else those costs and barriers have increased, not decreased, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Disabled people and carers are also having to factor in higher costs for transport and medical supplies, extra carer supports and grocery delivery charges as well as unplanned costs for personal protective equipment to stay safe.

Everyone on the Disability Support Pension and the carer payment needs to be able to access the extra support to help them get through this crisis.

We are all in this together. If you agree, join our campaign to help make it happen.
