Our Projects

Thank you to the Department of Social Services for funding our projects.

UNLEASHED Project

The UNLEASHED project aims to empower young people with disabilities (YPWD) by supporting their confidence in employment settings through a set of e-learning modules, workshops, and networking events. The project addresses barriers to employment for YPWD and raises awareness amongst employers about the valuable contributions YPWD can make to the workforce. We believe that every young person deserves a chance to thrive in the workforce and make meaningful contributions to their community.

 

Project AIM (Access and Inclusion Matters)

Project AIM (Access and Inclusion Matters) is a unique opportunity for YPWD to actively contribute to promoting inclusive practices and enhancing accessibility of community organisations. By harnessing the lived experiences of YPWD, this project cultivates knowledge and capacity within organisations and groups. Together, we can create a more inclusive and accessible community.

Disability Empowerment Project (DEP)

The Disability Empowerment Project (DEP) aims to support YPWD to engage in activities from which they have traditionally been excluded from due to inaccessibility. By developing YPWD’s self-advocacy skills, we can support them to exercise their rights, ultimately fostering autonomy and overcoming barriers.
