💭🏠 The Imagining Home conference

🎟️ In-person and 🖥️ livestream tickets available

✅ People with disability and their family members are invited to attend free of charge.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our upcoming conference is a two-day exploration of typical and ordinary options for creating a home that is unique to each individual with disability.

Our speakers will demonstrate that the nature of a person’s impairment doesn’t prevent them from living in their own place, and that there are clever ways support can be put in place to ensure every person with disability is well supported to thrive.

Who should attend?
People with disability, their families, friends, allies, and the professionals who support them.

🗓️ Wednesday-Thursday, 20-21 May 2026
⏰ 9:00 am until 5:00 pm both days
📍Hotel Realm, Barton ACT

Our annual Dickson pool day was a resounding success. With warm weather, abundant shade, and a BBQ, more participants than ever were able to enjoy the aquatic areas this year. We would like to extend a special thank you to Australia, their generous sponsorship was vital in bringing our community together for such a great event."

The Dickson Pool Day is scheduled to go ahead this Friday, 30 January 2026. As you may be aware, the temperature for the day will be in the mid to high 30s, and this could present some health risks to some participants and staff. We have decided to go ahead with the pool day and will take appropriate heat-related risk mitigation strategies. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
