At our huge events created, shaped and delivered by people living with disability, for people living with disability, we had the opportunity to bring people, organisations, government departments, media, our politicians and the wider community together at Australia’s largest disability and NDIS related events in history across WA, NSW, Qld and VIC.
We don’t do just stalls and pamphlets. Almost 5 years ago I, along with my community, created these huge community events, celebration and a chance to highlight what people in Australia living with disability say is most important to them. As a huge community we have the opportunity every event to raise awareness of the biggest issues we are all facing and highlight what is important, as we get things right and create a sector we can all be proud of.
We have enjoyed the support of leading organisations sponsoring our work across Australia and we look forward to those continuing to help make these massive events happen. If you can sponsor and support our events in 2026 and help us deliver this crucial event to Australian’s, then please contact me any time as we get no government grants or funding.
If you are an organisation interested in exhibiting or you know of someone that needs to be at our events to connect with people, then please get in touch quickly for 2026 and share our events and this email.
If you are a visitor, a person with a disability, community member, family, carer or professional, we look forward to seeing you again in 2026.
Please let everyone you know about our events, visit the Facebook and social media pages, share our posts and event links and help us connect as a community with unwavering strength, passion and commitment to getting things right, as we reform and fix our sector, codesigning and advocating together, following a huge Disability Royal Commission and so much change.
