International Day of People with Disability 2023

We are proud to share the stories and insights from five BSL staff members who are living with a disability this International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD)

IDPwD is a United Nations (UN) day observed internationally. It aims to promote community awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability. IDPwD is an opportunity to be part of creating an inclusive and diverse community for the 4.4 million Australians with disability.

At BSL, we are proud to support people with a disability through our services, research and advocacy. Our approach to working with people with disability focuses on building a sense of wellbeing and autonomy. Since 2016, BSL has partnered with the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) to deliver Local Area Coordination (LAC) and early childhood services for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) across Victoria.

This IDPwD, we are privileged to be able to share with you the insights, stories and aspirations of five staff members at BSL.
