Our 3rd conference aims to make sure the disability advocacy sector understands and is well equipped to use the legal system in their work.
The second day of the conference will also provide a ‘best practice in advocacy’ theme.
This conference provides a great opportunity to consider the effects some of the new legislation could potentially have on people with disabilities. This includes the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and the new Guardianship laws.
The conference is for anyone who undertakes advocacy in their working or personal lives. This includes disability advocates, self advocates, people with disability, legal workers, government and non government officers, community workers and allied health professionals.
