We’re commencing development of a new disability access and inclusion action plan with the purpose of making our community more accessible and inclusive for people living with disability.
Residents are invited to get involved by participating in a focus group session. This session will be facilitated and run by Get Skilled Access a disability inclusion consulting firm founded by wheelchair tennis champion, Paralympian and 2022 Australian of the year Dylan Alcott.
The session will be held as a 60-minute webinar at 6:45pm on Thursday 27th July. A link will be sent prior to the webinar after registration of interest.
What does a focus group look like?
It is an online discussion with 4 categories of questions which align with council’s four pillars, and the same four pillars of the Disability Act.
- Inclusive Communities
- Health, housing and wellbeing
- Fairness and safety, and,
- Opportunity and Pride
These pillars aim to have actions that work towards reducing barriers to persons with a disability accessing goods, services, and facilities, obtaining and maintaining employment and promoting inclusion and participation in the community. They also aim to support achieving tangible changes in attitudes and practices which discriminate against persons living with a disability.
The group will have a conversational style and be a safe and secure place for people to speak openly and be listened to.
