Keep me Informed (yeah right)

There was a meeting today to discuss Sues accommodation needs. I was told I would be rung to be part of the discussion. People from Mulawa, DADHC, Public Guardian and the Behaviour Intervention Service were also involved.

It started at 11:30am I had not been called by 2:45pm.

I expected I would not called. I definitely feel like I am seen as a trouble maker as I will not accept being told that it is not DADHC responsibility to house Sue. Part of DADHC guidelines is to "develop a coordinated approach across government to the planning of accommodation and services to people with disabilities."

What they hell are they doing for Sue. Nothing as DADHC seems preoccupied with saying it is everybody else's job top find Sue housing.

Sue goes before the parole board on the 7th of this month with no housing to go to if she is released. Well done DADHC other one of your clients ends up on the streets.
