On Tuesday, 6th May, BCA Inform was held to discuss the vital topic of Employment. The session was led by Rachael Johinke, BCA’s Project Coordinator for An Eye to the Future.
The session featured three guest speakers, Tim Haggis, Kaye Jones and Jess Kendall who shared their personal employment stories, followed by a panel discussion. Each speaker brought unique insights from their diverse experiences in disability advocacy and employment services, offering practical advice and reflections on the challenges and successes they’ve encountered.
The session concluded with a Q&A, giving attendees the chance to engage directly with the panelists. Attendees were also reminded about the Employment Peer Group, which meets on the first Monday of every month at 7:00pm AEST, providing ongoing support and peer connection.
