The ACT Government is pleased to announce the opportunity for individuals and community organisations to apply for financial support, in the form of a once-only grant to assist in a program or event for the International Day of People with Disability (I-Day) in 2022.
Australia’s Biggest Celebration of Spring will return to the heart of the city in Canberra’s beautiful Commonwealth Park, from Saturday 17 September to Sunday 16 October with some great accessibility features.
Events, whether big or small, can often overlook accessibility given their temporary nature, but there are many things you can do to make your event more inclusive. Watch the recording of our latest webinar on how to make your event welcoming to everybody with accessibility experts, event organisers and venues who have embraced accessibility.
“My biggest tip that I could give people is: if you don’t know, ask. Try to gain as much knowledge as you can.”
– Matt Levy, Paralympian and Ambassador for RightHear
“We need to constantly remind ourselves not to segregate when starting to talk about inclusivity […] people with access needs are really a part of our community and need to be included amongst all of our promotion and marketing, not like a separate sector.”
Coralie Bell, Shoalhaven City Council
