Dive into the Strength in Community: Family Gathering and get charged up for building Inclusive communities.  This is a unique opportunity to bring together people with disability and their families for meaningful conversations, sharing experiences, and ideas to nurture genuine inclusive communities. To visit the event website, please visit www.familygathering2025.org.au 

This event puts people with disability and their families at the heart of every conversation, ensuring all experiences and practical strategies help to advocate for inclusion and drive meaningful change in your community.  By connecting with others who understand the journey, you’ll build lasting relationships and find mutual support that can encourage you along the way. The aim is to create an environment that is more about collaborating than it is about sitting and listening.

Who is this event for?
Families who advocate with and, at times, on behalf of a family member with disability. The event welcomes people with disability, their friends and allies who contribute to their lives, included in the community. This event is not aimed at people in the role of professional support worker or service provider.
