Opening Doors to Meaningful Employment- November 2026

Family members of people with disability and educators are invited to explore ways to support people with disability into meaningful, paid, open employment in the community. 

Morning session: 10:00am – 12:00pm (families and educators) 

When families and educators work together, they can play a powerful role in helping young people with disability prepare for and access meaningful employment. 

Join us for this informative and interactive session, to explore Inclusive Employment Australia, employment rights and the NDIS, along with practical strategies and tools that can be utilised to raise expectations and create opportunities for work.  It’s not just about accessing programs, services or funding, it’s about understanding how working together, families and educators can shape good employment outcomes for people with disability.  

Lunch: 12:00pm – 12:45pm (educators are invited to join us for complimentary lunch)

Afternoon session: 12:45pm – 2:15pm (families only) 

Families play a vital role in shaping what is possible for their family member. This dedicated session will build on the morning’s discussions and explore practical steps families can take to support their family member’s employment goals and create opportunities for meaningful work.   

Families will also have the opportunity to discuss any current barriers their family member may be experiencing and explore practical ways to navigate services and supports to help overcome these barriers.   

If you are a person with disability or family member, your registration includes the morning and afternoon sessions, plus lunch.

If you are an educator, your registration includes the morning session and lunch, if you choose to join us.

This event is being delivered as part of the Supported Employment Advocacy (SEA) and aims to assist people with high support needs and their families to make informed decisions, understand their employment options, as well as how to navigate the employment support system.
