Community events should make everyone feel seen, respected, and included.
Our Disability Services Community Capacity Building (CCB) team are working alongside communities to understand what inclusion truly means —and how it can be brought to life through community events.
In collaboration with Neighbourhood Houses and Community Centres, we have developed an events checklist to support community groups and organisations in planning inclusive events where everyone can attend and participate.
Following co-design workshops in 2024, we gathered insights from people with a disability and carers on what is important to feel welcome and included when attending a community event.
These insights have helped to shape the guide, which provides practical and low-cost guidance for every step of the event planning journey.
Explore the Inclusive Events Checklist and if you’re using the guide to help plan your next event, let us know at communications.ndis@bsl.org.au
