Have you already provided your story or given permission for it to be shared with the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission? If so, you do not need to complete this survey and we thank you for your participation.
This survey will take around 20 minutes to complete. It asks you about your experiences of disability services, and then if relinquishment was considered or ocurred. Throughout the survey, there are spaces for you tell your story in your own words.
