Our chick Angel. The new Compass mascot? She's strong and resilient, a team player, noisy when she needs to be. She never gives up 😁

I have been honoured to be part of The Tasmanian Prejudice Related Violence Working Group.

Together with the Multicultural Council of Tasmania, we invite you to participate in a community forum about how we can work together to prevent and respond to targeted violence.

Members from all communities who experience targeted violence (and their allies) are welcome to attend and participate in this conversation. After hearing from our guest speakers, we will invite participants to contribute to a plan to address targeted violence.

You must register to attend in person. Click the link and it will take you to Eventbrite to register: https://bit.ly/3Ul0m4D

You can also attend online.

An Auslan interpreter will be available in person, within view for people online. The IMAS venue is fully accessible.

This event and the community development project, "Why do you hate me so?" is funded by the Hobart City Council, and supported by the Tasmanian Institute of Law Enforcement Studies, University of Tasmania.

If you have any accessibility needs or wish to discuss the accessibility of the event, please do not hesitate to contact the project team at Nicole.Asquith@utas.edu.au

Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Week: September 8 - 13
We need inclusive design: ACCESSIBILITY equals OPPORTUNITY

After disability, it became a challenge to access my favourite places. Sometimes it was a wild ordeal that relied on the kindness of friends and strangers, sometimes it meant missing out.
Things are changing. Not any more!
We want to make it easier for you! Compass exists to be your guide. Let us handle the logistics to achieving your lifestyle goals: compasstamar@gmail.com

Aligning with this years Spinal Cord Injury Awareness week, we are offering up a challenge to the disability community - Share your Wheelchairs in the Wilderness!
We want to hear about your ultimate National Park experience and how you made the impossible, possible.

It’s likely someone you know has personally been affected by the 2020 bushfires, floods, or the isolating effects of COVID-19. This year, “there’s more to say after R U OK?” which could change someone's life. To find out how you can keep the R U OK? conversation going, visit the link below.

ALL people are important to us so if you’re feeling isolated, lonely or just generally not ok, reach out to a family member, a friend, a professional service, or send us a message:“R U OK?”

An R U OK? conversation roleplay to help you learn how to navigate a conversation that could change a life.
