Access and Inclusion Advisory Group – Expression of Interest (EOI)

About the Opportunity

Sorell Council and Mission Australia Partners in the Community invites Expressions of Interest from individuals and organisations who are passionate about creating a more inclusive, accessible and welcoming community to join our new Access and Inclusion Advisory Group.

The Access and Inclusion Advisory Group’s role is to provide advice and guidance to Sorell Council on matters related to improving access, inclusion, and participation for all community members with a particular focus on people with disabilities, older adults, and other marginalised or disadvantaged groups, including but not limited to members of the LGBTQIA+, Aboriginal or Multicultural communities.

The Group will support Council’s commitment to creating an inclusive and equitable community where all individuals can access services, facilities, and opportunities.

Our aim is to ensure the municipality of Sorell and surrounding areas are accessible and inclusive communities where all people can fully participate in social, economic, and cultural life, regardless of their age, ability, background, or disability status.

To make Sorell and surrounds as inclusive, accessible, safe and welcoming as possible, we need you
