Are you a disabled young Victorian? We want to hear how COVID-19 has impacted you and your life.

This is a paid opportunity.

Our COVID-19 Working Group consists of 5 disabled young leaders who are taking action on areas that decision makers have ignored in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Their aim is to increase the voices of disabled young Victorians during the COVID-19 response and recovery.

Stories and experiences of COVID-19

Our COVID-19 Working Group is inviting disabled young Victorians to share their experiences during the pandemic.

What you share will be included in a research report that is shared with decision makers, like senators and MPs, so they better understand the experiences of disabled young people.

It will also be published on our website as a record of disabled young Victorian's experiences during the pandemic.

You can send in your submission using this form.

You can share anything you want to, but here are some questions to get you started:

  • How has COVID-19 impacted your school or work?
  • How has COVID-19 impacted your friends and family?
  • How has COVID-19 impacted your access needs?
  • Are there any positive experiences you would like to share?

  • Written piece or a poem
