CRU regularly holds events of varying sizes across Queensland. These are designed to strategically resource people and organisations as they strive to pursue better lives for people with disabilities. They range from small local gatherings to share local wisdom through to large conferences that attract people from around the country.
CRU is committed to giving an equal voice to people with disability and their family members so that their views can be heard alongside academics, professionals and service providers.

Feedback from our events
Mary’s presentation was well supported, inspiring and honest – giving great insight into the challenges of organisational change and good strategies and examples. (Service Manager)
I wanted to thank you for organising such a great event. The information from speakers and talking with other families was wonderful. I gained a lot from Michael’s presentations and it has given me a lot to reflect upon. (Parent)
I really enjoyed the solidarity of the participants, the speakers’ stories, learning strategies and ideas from others. (Family Member)
So valuable to focus on the best life with natural supports for a person with disability… This training has given me the opportunity to reflect on our practice as an organisation. (Service Manager)
