THEME: “More than just a carer: a career that makes a difference”
Conference details
When: Wednesday 18 and Thursday 19 November 2009
Where: University of Melbourne, Economics and Commerce Building.
The Victorian Branch of the Australasian Society for the Study of Intellectual Disability (ASSID Vic) are proud to be hosting the foremost conference for Disability Support Workers from all over Australia and New Zealand.
This year’s theme acknowledges the range of expertise among DSW’s in the field, with the aim of increasing it across the board. DSW’s work daily with one of the most disenfranchised and marginalised groups of society, and it seems just and relevant, now more than ever, to work towards creating better lives for people with a disability, and at the same time for disability support workers. Disability Support Workers have a diverse range of skills and attitudes and the timing seems perfect to move into the next generation – a professionalised workforce.
Cost: $210 for two days, $120 for one day. Discounts for Australasian Society for the Study of Intellectual Disability (ASSID) members.
The Disability Support Conference is proudly supported by the Department of Human Services Victoria and RMIT University (Division of Disability Studies).
