At this year’s COSP18 in New York, Australia was represented by 11 people with disability who shared their experiences and priorities on a global stage.

At the event, they also explored the value of disability-led and co-designed research.

Easy Read is an important part of any research or consultation process that involves people with low literacy, including people with disability and people with multicultural backgrounds. Afterall, people need to understand the topic before they can give meaningful feedback.

Easy Read can help people understand a research project and what’s expected of them if they choose to get involved. You can also develop surveys, meeting agendas and other support materials in Easy Read.

NAIDOC Week 2025 marks 50 years of celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, histories and achievements.

This year’s theme is ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy’.

NAIDOC started as a movement for recognition and rights, led by Indigenous communities seeking justice and equity.

At Easy Read Australia, we advocate for accessible information as a human right. We are proud to have worked with the Department of Social Services and Services Australia to produce Easy Read resources for Indigenous communities. These resources have helped people understand important information that affects their daily lives.

Easy Read isn't only for people with disabilities, it also helps Indigenous peoples, people from multicultural backgrounds and older Australians.

We value the opportunity to work and make a difference in this space.
