FREE COMMUNITY EVENT, LUNCH PROVIDED!

It is so often said that ‘Knowledge is Power’ and ‘You don’t know what you don’t know’.

So… what if, together, we can do something about that?

Thanks to an NSW Government Grant from the Department of Communities and Justice and the Disability Advocacy Futures Program, Action for People With Disability is proud and excited to present a series of 8 community education and advocacy workshops for the disability community in Northern Sydney.

They would love you to join their team and the panel of expert presenters they have brought together, so that you can learn specialised information to support you to know and uphold your rights, and to be your own self-advocate.

Knowledge truly can bring power.

So let’s learn together.
