The Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success acknowledges Indigenous peoples across Australia as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the nation’s campuses are situated. With a history spanning more than 60,000 years as the original educators, Indigenous peoples hold a unique place in our nation. We recognise the importance of their knowledge and culture, and reflect the principles of participation, equity, and cultural respect in our work. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and future, and consider it an honour to learn from our Indigenous colleagues, partners, and friends.

Event information

Sydney Ideas will be holding a panel discussion on creating inclusive and accessible built environments as part of the University’s program of events for Disability Inclusion Week 2018, 3–7 September 2018.

A panel of practitioners, researchers and people with lived experience of disability will explore how can we develop a view of people and place that is inclusive, universally designed and that gives people with disability access, and importantly, how this can be done seamlessly with equity and dignity?

The event is free and open to all. Online registrations are required.

  • Sandi Lightfoot — Discipline Specialist, Occupational Therapy, Faculty of Health Sciences, The University of Sydney
  • Andrew Hartwell — Chair, Disability at Work Network, The University of Sydney
  • Nas Campanella (moderator) — journalist and newsreader at ABC and Triple J

The venue is fully accessible, with a hearing loop. Auslan Interpreting and live captioning will be available.
