Participants come from every Australian state and across Victoria.

HaS has an average attendance of around 800 participants each day. In addition the Expo is open to the public as well as conference delegates.

Having a Say continues to be an event full of events, that is, there are seven other events conducted within the overall conference: the Our Choice Expo, Talent Show, Come & Try Activities, Art Competition, Self-Advocacy awards, Disco and Dinner with speaker. All activities are focused on providing people with a disability with the opportunities to contribute, learn, present, perform, celebrate achievement, be inspired by their peers and experience new things.
