Children and Young People with Disability Australia (CYDA) is hosting a free, online forum for our community to hear from Australia's major parties what they are promising children and young people with disability in the Federal Election.

Importantly, this event is also providing a space for young people with disability to be in the conversation about government decisions that impact their lives. There will be a Q&A for young people to directly ask political leaders about the election issues that are important to them.

This event also warmly invites and welcomes parents, caregivers and other supporters of children and young people with disability to listen in.

Captions (via Otter.ai) and Auslan interpreting will be available during the event.
