I'm assuming Support Workers are welcome to accompany their clients. What other measures have been taken to make it more Accessible?

@DogMan79 Yes offcourse your support worker can attend too. It’s online via Zoom.
we will have live remote captioning and using easy to understand language.
This is all put by people with disabilities just ordinarily everyday people. We have no funding it’s all just people volunteering.

Captions are great
I think smartphones offer things now too. But for my deaf mum, there wasn't much available
We have deaf and HoH members here at SANE too 🙂

I have wrote a letter to my local MP regarding my concerns about the new ndis reforms & have sent it out! Big win for me today! Lucky I was able to have my social worker to assist me with writing it.

Well done @Blackcloud 😊.
And thank you for sharing @Cuddlebear 😊. I didnt see the post until after the event (lol such is my life lately in all areas) but I really hope it went well, and so glad a community was hosting it to discuss and raise awareness and voice.
