For many years, the Australian screen industry has voiced a need to learn how to enhance diversity and inclusion. This Screen Access and Inclusion Masterclass program has been developed in consultation with screen professionals with lived experience of disability.

This unique industry training has been designed to upskill emerging and established screen practitioners in how to improve access and inclusion for people with disability in the screen industry. The Masterclass provides practical knowledge on how to provide for access requirements through building disability confidence.

Learn about:

The social model of disability
Language and etiquette
What and how to use access riders
Creating an inclusive workplace
Where and how to access further support

“The Masterclass was absolutely brilliant and a real crowd pleaser. Everyone had such positive feedback from the session. It was a breath of fresh air.”
