Get on board the showboat: Progressing disability inclusion in mainstream systems

Time: 1:30pm - 2:40pm

Location: The Hall

  • Speaker: Maya Ramakrishnan, Acting Executive Director, Social Housing Reform | Housing Policy Branch, Homes Victoria
  • Speaker: Jen Hargrave, Researcher

Identifying and removing barriers for diversity groups is increasingly becoming a priority for government and the services they fund. So what initiatives are improving access and promoting inclusion for people with disability?

Onboard we have a hard working crew to show us the ropes across several portfolios. You’ll be presented with lightning initiative snapshots for each area. Have your say on how progressive they are. Does the apparent genuine desire to make inclusion real for people with disability equal actual progress or are we just rearranging the deck chairs?
