WATCH | Webinar – Creating More Inclusive Communities: The Local Government Disability Inclusion Guide
Disability inclusion isn’t the responsibility of one person or one team—it’s how local government does business.
The recently released Local Government Disability Inclusion Guide is designed to support councils to embed inclusive thinking into everyday decisions, helping create communities where everyone can participate, contribute and belong.
The first webinar in the Creating More Inclusive Communities series introduces councils to the Guide and demonstrates how it can be used as a practical resource to support disability inclusion across all areas of local government.
This session focuses on helping participants understand the Guide, why it was developed, and how it can support better planning, decision-making and service delivery.
The webinar will reinforce that disability inclusion is not the responsibility of one individual or one team. It is a whole-of-council responsibility, requiring leadership, collaboration and practical action across every council function.
