Embrace the Power of Inclusivity
In a world striving for progress, true innovation comes from hearing and embracing diversity in all its forms.
We proudly present Inclusive Voices, a pioneering force driving forward inclusive thinking in community, in business and in government.
Our vibrant community of over 500 people with lived experience of disability, supported by decades of cutting-edge disability research, makes us the premier destination for corporations and governments seeking transformative disability-centric change.
Dr Vanesa Bochkezanian (CQU), Dwayne Fernandes, Dr Maretta Mann (Griffith University), and Timothy Lachlan address the audience at the Inclusivity In Play Pitch, 2022.
Why Inclusive Voices?
The Numbers Don't Lie
With over 4 million Australians living with disability, representing 18% of our population, and even more people living with chronic disabling conditions, the potential for meaningful engagement and collaboration is vast.
Yet, the knowledge of people with disability remains vastly untapped by industry, offering us huge possibilities for creativity, and unparalleled insights waiting to be unlocked.
Our Unique Approach
We bring together a dynamic alliance:
People with Disability: Our thriving community of 500+ individuals, each with a unique journey and invaluable perspective on disability.
Researchers, Designers, and Educators: Experts who understand the transformative power of collaboration and empathy.
Industry and Government Bodies: Partners dedicated to fostering a more inclusive society through meaningful action.
What We Offer
Personalised Consultations: Gain invaluable insights through one-on-one sessions with people with lived experiences or immersive focus groups, where our community members offer first-hand perspectives and innovative solutions.
Captivating Keynotes and Workshops: Let our Inclusive Voices speaking bureau inspire and educate with their compelling stories, experiences of using your products and services, shedding light on the true essence of disability and its implications for your organisation.
Product and Service Enhancement and Testings: Collaborate with our experts to refine your offerings, ensuring they meet the diverse needs of all individuals and drive meaningful impact.
Research Collaborations: Dive into, or commission, ground-breaking studies conducted by our researchers, bridging theory and practice to shape a more inclusive future for all.
