Advocacy for Inclusion has launched our Welcoming Community Program – a peer-led initiative designed for older people with disability to build new connections, grow confidence and improve self-advocacy skills.

❓Participants of the program will determine the topics explored by the groups. These may include:

Becoming a self-advocate
Finding inclusive and accessible opportunities
Exploring a new hobby or interest
Becoming a peer supporter or community leader

🧩Structure: The program will run over six months, with two-hour sessions fortnightly.

📍Location: Two programs will run concurrently, delivered both in-person (Salthouse Community Centre in Braddon) and online (open to anyone in Australia).

⏱️When: Our next round of in-person sessions will commence in early 2026.

📝 Eligibility Criteria: Open to anyone who identifies as having a disability, with preference given to older people, people not on the NDIS and people who are socially isolated.

💰Cost: This is a free program with all resources included.

If traveling to the in-person sessions will be a barrier for you, please get in touch with us on welcome@advoaccyforinclusion.org or 02 6257 4005.
