The Having a Say is a national event held each year in Geelong, Victoria. It is an opportunity for people with disability to be in the spotlight and shine, as presenters, performers, volunteers and self-advocates. It aims to give people with disabilities the opportunity to build their skills, knowledge and connections through being involved in planning and running the event.
Having a Say has been supporting people to find their voice…. to speak up, be heard and be respected – for 25 years.
It is an event where people listen to each other, not just to the speakers on stage. It is an empowering experience where people respect each other’s views and opinions and celebrate their common causes and achievements.
