My Life, My Home, My Solution Campaign

This campaign launched in 2007 by the Community Safegaurds Coalition describes how some Queenslanders with disability are denied the right to choose where they live, who they live with, where they go and when
what they eat and who works for them.

The campaign puts forward an alternative model based on a new UK approach to service delivery for people with intellectual disabilities. In Control has the potential to transform traditional approaches of congregated care and case management without costing more money.
