Voices for Change!
Event description
Voices for change! is where your voice matters! Join us for an honest conversation about the issues impacting the lives of people with disability in your area and share your ideas and solutions with us.
Who are we? We are two advocacy organisations that regularly give advice to government. We are committed to making sure our systems advocacy is grounded in the perspectives of people with lived experience of disability. We hope to listen and learn from each other so the real-life experiences of people on the ground can inform the changes we recommend to government. Don't miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and make a difference.
The event is co-hosted by Queensland Advocacy for Inclusion (QAI) and Rights In Action (RIA). QAI is an independent non-profit organisation, our purpose is to advocate for the protection and advancement of the needs, rights and lives of people with disability in Queensland. RIA is a non-profit, charitable organisation that provides free independent advocacy support for people with disabilities in North and Far North Queensland.
Our key topic for discussion will be access to basic disability supports in regional Queensland.
Accessibility: The RIA office is wheelchair accessible and climate controlled. Please let us know if you have any other accessibility needs such as closed captions, hearing loop or Auslan interpreter.
