Sydney, New South Wales – Celebrate and advocate for people with disability at noon on Thursday 26th September 2024 at Western Sydney University – Bankstown City Campus.
The Canterbury Bankstown Chamber of Commerce (CBCC) is proud to announce a lunchtime event dedicated to celebrating the achievements of people with disabilities in our community. This event promises to be an inspiring and impactful event that highlights the importance of inclusion and accessibility, and recognises the contributions of individuals with disabilities in the workplace and beyond.
We are honoured to welcome the Hon. Bill Shorten MP as our esteemed guest speaker for this event. A long-time advocate for disability rights and the Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), Minister Shorten will share his insights on the progress made in supporting people with disabilities, as well as the work that still needs to be done. His experience, passion, and dedication to the cause will undoubtedly provide valuable perspectives and inspire all attendees.
In addition to the Minister’s keynote address, the event will feature a panel discussion that will explore a range of topics, including the importance of accessibility in the workplace, the benefits of employing people with disabilities, and the role of businesses in driving social change. The discussion will provide practical insights and strategies that businesses can implement to become more inclusive and supportive of people with disabilities.
