Education Webinar: The Next Generation - Strength, Vision and Legacy
This NAIDOC Week, join the Learning Without Barriers team for a very special celebration of the Next Generation.
This year marks 50 years of NAIDOC Week celebrations, and the theme, 'The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy', celebrates not only the achievements of the past but looks to the bright future ahead, empowered by the strength of young leaders, the vision of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and the legacy of their ancestors.
This event will be a chance to reflect, celebrate, and look ahead to a future shaped by the next generation.

Foundations for a good life: Disability support beyond the NDIS
The Disability Dialogue is a safe space where people with disability, families, representative organisations, providers, researchers, and the wider community work together on things that matter to us.
This event will focus on how we can build better support for everyone, not just people who use the NDIS. We will discuss the government's introduction of foundational supports (for people who are not eligible for the NDIS), and guest speakers Sara Gingold, Todd Winther, and Catherine McAlpine will share their insights on how we can build a system of General Foundational Supports to improve the lives of everyone living with disability.
Come along to be part of the conversation:
Date: Wednesday, 30 July
Time: 1:00-2:30pm AEST (NSW, Queensland, Victoria, ACT, and Tasmania)
Location: Online.
