NDIS Campaign for Commuters - June 15

Every Australian Counts Bumper Sticker
The Every Australian Counts campaign is taking our message about fixing Australia’s underfunded, inequitable, fragmented and inefficient disability system to the commuters of Sydney.

On the 15th of June we will be leafleting at the entrance to Sydney train stations. Disability organisations from across Sydney have volunteered to organise a crew of Every Australian Counts Campaign Champions to be at the entrance of train stations handing out campaign material like post cards, stickers and leaflets. Most activity will take place in the morning during the peak hour period. 


What will happen:

We are asking volunteer groups to simply do their best to distribute some campaign material and  take some photos of the event. We want the event to be a positive experience. We will provide scripts, instructions and handout material. 

What do we aim to achieve:

The event is our first physical campaigning activity of this kind anywhere in Australia. It is our first attempt at taking our message outside the disability community to the people in the street. We  aim to distribute collectively more than 10,000 postcards and spread the  word to commuters

We are very excited at the campaign office. The state government and Cityrail have been informed of the event.
