Mt Isa - CRU is delighted to be heading north-west to deliver ‘Disability Awareness Training’. Regional communities are known for being warm and welcoming, but people often ask us how to ensure they welcome people with disability in an authentic way. This workshop will assist businesses, clubs, groups, tourism providers… (anyone and everyone who is interested), to feel more confident to be inclusive, and to have more practical strategies to draw on. Through real-life stories, discussion and practical activities with our experienced facilitators, you'll explore accessibility and inclusion and understand why it's the small things we do that can often make the biggest difference.
