Every one-two years we organise a conference with a theme that is relevant to people with disability. It is an opportunity for like-minded people to come together to learn, rejuvenate, motivate and connect. We invite local, national and international speakers including
- people with disability
- their families, supporters, and champions
- representatives from aligned organisations
- authorities in the inclusion space
- education, health, and other professionals
- representatives of local government and organisations such as the National Disability Insurance Agency
- representatives of organisations that support people with disability and their families

2021 – Get That Good Life! Conference
We all want the Good Life, for ourselves and for the people we care about.
But, traditionally, people with disability have been denied access to (or given a watered-down version of) many of the things that make life meaningful, interesting, and fun.
So this conference is all about identifying the things that make life good and how to ensure that people with disability have access to these. It will focus on strategies that create wonderfully ordinary lives for people with disability.
We invited an exciting group of local, national and international speakers to join us to share their insights, stories, and best practice methods. The conference included:
- Three pre-conference webinars
- Inclusive Education with Sarah Humphreys
- Customised Employment with Milton Tyree
- Quality Support with Janet Klees
- Two days filled with virtual events on a variety of topics
