Surveys now out

People with disabilities, or their carers, are urged to pick up a needs analysis input survey, which are now available around the district.
The survey will show the needs of people with disabilities in the old Warwick Shire Council area and will hopefully provide the catalyst to receive government funding for necessary changes in the local disability sector.
The questionnaire is available at multiple locations around the district to make it easier for people to pick up a copy. These locations include the Southern Downs Regional Council Library, the Southern Downs Regional Council Mobile Library, State Member for Southern Downs Lawrence Springborg’s office in King Street, Warwick, the Department of Communities office in Guy Street, Warwick, the reception at the Condamine Medical Centre, the Allora Pharmacy, the Caltex Station in Wallace Street, Warwick, and Killarney’s St Vinnies Store.
Warwick and District Disability Support Group Inc (WDDSG Inc) president Peter Stacy said the group hoped hundreds of locals would complete the survey, which does not require any identification details, so they could analyse the best information possible.
Mr Stacy said surveys should be posted in the supplied postage paid envelopes by the end of this month.
This will allow results to be collated by November.
If you need a survey posted to you, contact Peter Stacy on 0408 674 634.
