25.01.2022 Important message from the Australian Government, please remember to stay home this Easter long weekend

25.01.2022 A short read with such an important message. For those parents out there with children about to start the school year please add disability awareness to your topic of conversation with your children. Talk to them about disability awareness and being open to friendships with children who have disabilities.

24.01.2022 With a new school year ahead we all need to consider whats best for your child. Anyone out there that's feeling daunted about helping their child settle in this is a great read.....

23.01.2022 Are you a Carer? The Department of Social Services (DSS) has commissioned AMR, a research agency, to assess the current awareness of the Carer Gateway service from carers across Australia via this survey. This survey will be open until 26 January 2018 and should take no more than 15 minutes to complete.... Find more information and the link to the survey by following clicking below:

22.01.2022 Food for thought...... We will all come into close contact with disability in our lives. 80 per cent of disabilities are acquired later in life, and our ageing population means the prevalence of disability is on the rise. With family combined, disability affects 53 per cent of our global population. (Source: TIME). Within Australia, more than one-third of households include a person with disability. (Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics). This article from the Australian Network on Disability discussed the ' Disability Inclusion Revolution and puts out a worldwide call to action for Business to recognise the one billion people living with disability.

01.01.2022 Congratulations to Professor Rhonda Galbally who received the Companion in the Order of Australia for her achievements as a disability activist. Professor Rhonda Louise Galbally had polio from when she was thirteen months old, uses a wheelchair so has an experience and understanding of disability. In another article Rhonda Galbally explains to J-Wire: I feel really pleased on behalf of thousands of Australians with a disability, as well as family, friends, and supporters... who have been campaigning for disability rights for decades. People whatever their differences ought to have a chance out in the world, to get jobs, to be part of community and recreation. Well done to Professor Rhonda Galbally!
