Wayne Herbert, Disability Activist, Author and Comedian and MC for the day, introduces the conference theme. This is followed by a ‘Welcome to Country’ presented by an Elder from Wurundjeri Land & Compensation Cultural Heritage Council Aboriginal Corporation. Professor David Hayward is the Director of the Future Social Services Institute and also the sponsor for SDAC18 gives a short address.
From behind the scenes, we know that one of the references that Professor Hayward used in preparing his speech was ‘The Social Model’ by Jordan Steel-John. We love it so much that we thought we’d include it here as a bonus.
