Creating a Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) will help your organisation increase disabled people’s engagement with all aspects of your organisation. DAIPs build on what you’ve already done, examine your capacity to do more and help your organisation move forward in a staged and strategic way.
Learn how to go beyond the bare minimum. Find out about the Social Model of Disability, examine the barriers disabled people face across the Australian arts sector, question stereotypes, myths and misconceptions about disabled people, and make a commitment to change. We have a number of courses available depending on your organisations area of work and the services you offer. These training courses include:
– Disability 101
– Digital Access
– Accessible Customer Services
– Accessible Events
– Creating Access Guides
– Website Audits

It opens my eyes to the disability world. I came here knowing nothing about (the) disability world and now I feel great knowing what to do to fulfil some
peoples access requirements.
