There is a failure to provide appropriate training/employment to those men and women with disabilities who wish to be active members of the labour force.

There is a lack of employment opportunities, both sheltered and mainstream, for people with disabilities.

The prejudice and discrimination against people with disabilities is enormous.

There is an absence of individual supports, which could enable men and women with disabilities to live independently, and also assist them towards a better understanding of their own personal circumstances.

Men and women with disabilities are invisible to many within the community.

Disability awareness training for state service providers is either not happening, or not working.
