About

We aim to foster a more inclusive and understanding community that recognizes and respects the rights and dignity of individuals with disabilities and their families.
The session hopes to Create Awareness: there is insufficient awareness and understanding within our communities regarding available supports, such as the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme). We would like to increase this awareness and channel people to the right supports – understanding concepts of disability and where to start. We encourage more conversations around the social model of disability in Australia.
There is a large amount of stigma around disability and mental health. Often communities have a feeling of shame, guilt, or misunderstanding of disability. This can be isolating. Through this session, we aim to challenge those misconceptions and shift mindsets.
The aim is to unite different sections of community, creating a more harmonious and welcoming environment for all.
