I have 2 days until I’m on the street.

I am disabled, I am exhausted, and I am being failed by every part of the system, but I’m still fighting. Not just for me, but for every person who’s been left voiceless, invisible, or blamed for needing help.

Last week, I was hospitalised after a power outage at the rural demountable I live in. The cold flared up my asthma and left me non-verbal, panicking, and unable to communicate with ambulance staff. They were kind, but didn’t even know how to get my registered assistance dog into the ambulance. I was terrified, had no support with me to help communicate and felt so anxious, not just for my health, but because systems I rely on have no idea how to support me.

Now the homelessness service is telling me I "rejected" properties -but what they don’t say is that those properties were inaccessible, unsafe, and impossible for me to live in due to my disability-related needs. That’s not me being “difficult.” That’s me trying to stay alive.

I have incident reports, support worker notes, and photo evidence that prove this. And still, I’m being treated as the problem - not the system that refuses to adapt to the people it's meant to serve.

Because my NDIS case is with the tribunal (ART), I’m told no one can act. So I ask again:

Who is responsible for my life right now? Who is accountable if I die waiting for help that never comes? 

On the street, I won't last long if my asthma flares up. 

But let me be clear:

👉 I am not giving up.
👉 I will not be quiet.
👉 I will make noise until change happens.

This isn’t just about me. This is about every person with disability who’s been gaslit, abandoned, and labelled “too complex” to help. I am starting to speak to media outlets, and I will take this to Parliament House if I have to - even if I have to get a support worker to drive me five hours to get there while facing homelessness to do it.

I’m calling on every person reading this:

Share this petition again
Tag politicians, media, and advocates
Ask them: Who is responsible for keeping disabled people alive when the system won’t?

If you have any contacts in the disability advocacy network…
If you know support workers, people with disabilities, or are part of groups that care about this cause -
Please reach out to them.
Please share this message.
Please help me be heard.

We can’t afford to stay silent anymore.
I don’t want to die trying to fix this - and I don’t want anyone else to either.

I will not let this end with silence.
Not for me.
Not for the next person.
Not ever.

In hope and in fight,
Jaz
