SWAN provide advocacy to improve or change State and Federal Government systems and processes in order to improve access, inclusion and supports for people with disability. We meet with decision makers, collaborate with other Disabled Persons and Families Organisations (DPFOs), provide testimony at Government Inquiries, and write submissions to Governments and Agencies.
