Focus on Ability short films, talk and morning tea - Redfern

When

Wednesday 29 November 2023 from 10am to 11:30am

Join us for morning tea and short films to celebrate International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD). This annual day promotes community awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability.

We’ll watch a selection of short films from the Focus on Ability Film Festival. These fantastic films explore the lives and experiences of people with disability.

Also hear from guest speaker Abigale Huang, a disability caseworker at CASS. She will talk about the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and services available for people with disability. This will be translated into Mandarin.

Morning tea provided by Civic Kitchen & Catering. This social enterprise provides employment and training to people with disability.

Everyone is welcome at this free event. Bookings recommended.

The date for this event was originally listed as Tuesday 28 November. The correct event date is Wednesday 29 November.

Community transport may be available to people who live locally to Redfern.
