You don't have to tell us if you are coming, but it will help us if you do. We can make sure there:
- is enough space, tea and coffee for everyone.
- are supports and reasonable adjustments if you need them.
Why are we holding these session?
We want to make sure people with disability get to have a say in the services that support them in western NSW. We want to hear about:
✅ what is working well,
✅ what is not working, and
✅ where things could be better.
We want to better meet the needs of people with disabilities in western NSW, by:
✅ making our health services easier to access, more welcoming and inclusive.
✅ listening and communicating better with people with disability, their families and carers.
✅ being a good employer of people with disability.
The new Disability Strategy will describe how we will work to achieve these things.
