Disability Inclusion Webinars for Engagement Professionals

Earlier this year, we shared the Local Government Disability Inclusion Guide, a practical resource designed to help councils embed disability inclusion across planning, services, infrastructure, employment and community engagement.

For practitioners looking to go deeper, the Australian Local Government Association (ALGA) has also made a series of practical webinars available to watch on demand.

While developed for local government, many of the issues explored have clear relevance for health engagement professionals working to make engagement more accessible and inclusive.

Education, Employment & Community Attitudes

Safety, Justice, Gender Equality & Emergency Management
Looks at accessible communication, intersectionality, safety and emergency preparedness, including the importance of strong relationships and communication channels.

Examines accessible housing, homelessness and inclusive community supports, with a focus on partnerships, inclusion and intersectionality.

Participation, Community Life & the Built Environment

ALGA has also published Creating More Inclusive Communities: The Local Government Disability Inclusion Guide, an introductory webinar explaining how the Guide can be used as a practical resource across an organisation.

For health engagement practitioners, the series offers a useful opportunity to look beyond individual accessibility measures and consider how inclusion intersects with communication, environments, services and the broader systems people navigate.
