The 2018 Victorian Election will be held on Saturday 24th November. With nearly 100,000 Victorians who are blind or have low vision, together, our voice is strong.
Leading up to Election Day, we’re urging the major parties and candidates to commit to improving employment opportunities, the NDIS and travel experiences.
Download our priorities:
While we're advocating for decision makers to prioritise all our priorities, our research shows that having access to more jobs is most important to people who are blind or have low vision.
Help us campaign for more job opportunities
You have the power to share your voice on any issues that matter to you. If that includes employment, you may find our advocacy resources and advice helpful.
