The issue

As advocates for fairness and guardians of society's most vulnerable, we must rally for the cause of neurodivergent children and their families. Currently, the out-of-pocket expenses for neurodivergent treatments are staggering, placing an unbearable burden on families. According to the National Survey of Children’s Health, 1 in 6 children in Australia have a developmental disability. The cost of therapies and interventions for such neurodivergent conditions, like autism or ADHD, can average $60,000 a year per child. We are advocating for policies to reduce these costs, allowing for better affordability and accessibility of treatment. It is a matter of public health, social justice, and equality. Let's support these children and their families by demanding better, more affordable healthcare options for neurodivergent individuals. Stand up for those who need it the most.
