Summary

The Australian Human Rights Commission’s Disability Awareness training workshop aims to enhance understanding of disability, and the barriers people with disability face to full and equal participation. Participants will learn to distinguish between the medical, social, and human rights models of disability, identify legal protections, and will workshop practical ways to enhance accessibility and inclusion for people with disability.
