and carers'
This is an exciting time as the Group is being asked to do more
and continues to make a difference. However, the Group needs your
support as the demand for more services, programs and opportunities
are developed and made available, for people with
disability.
Everyone will at some time in their lives be touched by
disability.
The Group aspires to achieve a lasting and positive impact for
people with disability, their families and carers by contributing
to the public good. As a responsible Group it conducts itself in a
way that benefits all, reflecting fundamental values that include
integrity, openness, fairness and accountability, complimented by
welcoming public interest and open communication.
The Group provides a hands-on service, by assisting to link the
services that you need. So if you're stuck and don't know where to
get the help, contact
us. We'll point you in the right direction. The service is
impartial, apolitical and non-sectarian. The Group endeavours to
provide information that is current, accurate, relevant, and
timely. In addition the Group recognises the
significant role of partnering organisations and that no
single entity can satisfiy challenges alone with the best
results being accomplished through sharing of knowledge and good
practices.
Everyone will at some time in their lives be touched by
disability. Whether you are born with a disability; acquire one
through accident, disease or ageing; have a family member, a
friend, or co-worker with a disability; or provide services to
people with a disability, at some stage of your life you will be
confronted by disability.
We believe that people with disability, their families and
carers, like everyone else have abilities and talents to share in a
positive way. As such all contribute to the diversity and
uniqueness of humanity, but their help is rarely understood or
recognised.
'People with a disability have a right to be, and our society
has a responsibility to ensure, that this right is not violated. A
normal human life cannot be defined nor can the normal way of
achieving success and happiness. The only normal quality that
exists among human beings is life itself''
The Group's Management Committee is made up of five office
bearers (including an Advocate) together with three general
members. The Committee have the ultimate responsibility for
the stewardship and corporate governance of the Group. A key
role of the Management Committee is to research, advise and consult
as widely as is practicable on any issues or recommendations
requiring decision by members. Further it ensures that each
program and/or service is appropriately designed, integrated and
focused delivering outcomes in the best possible way.
Matters dealt with by the Management Committee are reported to
all members by way of minutes and at each general meeting.
Meetings are held on the third Saturday in the months of
November, February, May and August. The annual general meeting is
held in conjunction with the August general meeting.
