From Recommendations to Reality: Inclusive Education and Employment

20 years since the UN CRPD, three years since the Disability Royal Commission and two years since the NSW Parliamentary Education Inquiry ... How far have we come, what still needs to change, and where do we go next?

Family Advocacy invites you to New South Wales Parliament on October 13, 2026.

In December this year it will be 20 years since the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Australia, an original signatory, officially ratified and adopted the CRPD in July 2008.

On October 13, Family Advocacy will be joined by special guest speaker Professor Erin Wilson to discuss the progress that has been made in the past two decades, and the road ahead for inclusive education and employment.
