This report captures the views of ACT women with disabilities about their health and health needs, access to services, supports and information and barriers to maintaining health.
Our research identified key barriers including affordability, appointment availability and wait times, as well as challenges with transport, caring responsibilities, physical access needs, and the lack of ongoing, affordable options for preventative care and activities.
The report highlights important opportunities to improve systems that are often inaccessible and discriminatory towards women with disabilities.
