I'm sure that many of you are aware of the conversations circulating in our community about GCLA having exclusive use of the therapy pool for their sessions at Gladstone Aquatic Centre. This has been the agreement for over 10 years and it is now time for GRC to review it. Team DCN are keen that proper consultation with the community takes place before any decision is made. We have reached out to GRC representatives to begin that conversation. If you have an opinion or feedback to add to this, please put it in the comments below or email it to [email protected] because we are here to be the bridge between the disability community and decision-makers. NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US!

Big thanks to everyone who played a part in our very successful event at Lions Park last Thursday to celebrate the third year of DCN activities and recognise Disability Action Week. Firstly, our co-organisers: Gladstone Regional Council and the Neighbourhood Centre. Our sponsors, Senator Penny Allman-Payne, Glenn Butcher MP and Magenta Community Services. MC Mellissa Holzheimer, Councillor Gladstone Regional Council. And the team from Endeavour Foundation who did an amazing job with set-up and pack-down. Team DCN has had a great year but it's now time for a break to recharge the batteries so we can come back in 2026 and be a loud voice for inclusion in our region. NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US 😀
