Hidden Disability Sunflower

We proudly support the Hidden Disability Sunflower Program and encourage anyone with a sunflower lanyard, wristband or pin to wear them to the event. We will also have some Sunflower Lanyards available for anyone who would like to use one. Wearing a sunflower product let’s us know that someone has a non-visible disability such as autism and may need some additional support or time. You can learn more about the program and wear to find Sunflower Products by heading to: https://hdsunflower.com/au/

Quiet Room

We are excited to announce that we will have a quiet room set up in the meeting room located next to the lighthouse Studio where the event is being held. If at any point during the seminar you feel overwhelmed or just need some time out feel free to use this space. There will also be a range of sensory tools and we will also look at whether we can lower the lighting so that the room is accessible to people of all abilities. If you have any question about the quiet room feel free to contact us.
