National Disability Conference Initiative
Funding for conference organisers for the inclusion and participation of people with disability.
About the initiative
Funding is provided each year to support nationally focussed, disability related conferences held within Australia.
The funding is provided to eligible conference organisers in Australia to support the inclusion of people with disability at national disability-focused conferences. This supports the vision of Australia’s Disability Strategy 2021–2031.
These funds are provided to conference organisers to:
- assist people with disability with the costs of attending conferences. Examples include conference fees, accommodation, travel for domestic participants
- assist family members or carers providing support to a person with disability attending a conference. Example include costs associated with conference fees, accommodation, travel for domestic participants
- facilitate access so people with disability can participate in conferences. Examples include funding accessible materials, Auslan interpreters, assistive computer devices or software, aids or appliances or other costs of ensuring venue accessibility.
