Yesterday, our participants and members of our team had the valuable opportunity to meet the Minister of Disability, Hannah Beazley, and voice their lived experiences, as well as hear about programs and solutions that are being actively worked on for people living with disability.
One of our participants, Emma, raised a point about the lack of inclusion and the bullying that people with a disability endure in school.
Being able to give our participants this opportunity to share their experiences and be heard comes back to our company focus for collaboration and inclusivity in everything we do. In addition to this, our company initiatives like our Neurodiversi-TEA networking events, and upcoming projects (such as Everyday Access) are creating more opportunities for individuals' living with disability to tell their stories.
During the minister's visit, our team also raised our concerns for how pricing changes have affected supports in regional areas (such as Geraldton), and learned about some programs already underway which will address these issues.
We are grateful to Minister Beazley for her time and insights, and happy that were able to include our participants in this experience.
