EASTERN MELBOURNE DISABILITY INCLUSION AND SAFETY FORUM (EM-DISF)

The EM-DISF has been established to build capacity of organisations to better respond and reduce barriers of
access to services for people with disability experiencing or using family violence.

Overview

This forum will focus on the role of disability advocacy services in empowering and advocating for the rights of people with disability. The forum will explore key barriers that people with disability who are experiencing family violence face. This forum will also give the opportunity for services to consider how they can reduce barriers of access for people with disability.
