December

Employment Group 

Monday, 1st December at 7:30pm AEDT

Are you actively seeking employment or looking to navigate the job market? Join our Employment Peer Connect Group – a supportive space where job seekers can come together to share experiences, discuss challenges, and exchange valuable tips and resources. Whether you’re job hunting, navigating interviews, or exploring career opportunities, this group offers a chance to connect with others on a similar journey.

BCA Inform – Employment 

Tuesday, 2nd December from 7:30pm to 9:00pm AEDT.

Employment continues to be a key issue for people who are blind or vision impaired, and we want to hear directly from you. This session will provide a short update on An Eye to the Future, including its history and current areas of focus, and highlight related initiatives such as BCA’s Employment Peer Connect Group and a new course for emerging leaders.

We’ll also open the floor for discussion around Inclusive Employment Australia services (formerly Disability Employment Services), and the types of support you’d like to see in future BCA projects.

We are also excited to launch our new “Jobseeker e-Guide: An Eye to the Future – A Guide to Employment for Jobseekers who are Blind or Vision Impaired”. This practical, step-by-step resource covers everything from identifying the right job, navigating applications and interviews, understanding your legal rights and creating accessible workplaces with confidence.

Your input during this session will help shape our ongoing employment advocacy and future initiatives across BCA. This is a valuable opportunity to ask questions, offer feedback, and be part of the conversation driving meaningful change.

To register for the event, please visit the Humanitix website.

If you have any questions or require assistance, contact us at events@bca.org.au or call 1800 033 660.
