The City of Vincent wants to know what we do well and what we could do better to make Vincent a more inclusive and accessible place to live in.
If you are a resident living with a disability and/or mental health condition, or someone who cares for a person living with a disability and/or mental health condition, we would like to hear from you.
We would also like to hear from you if you are a person (or carer of a person) with access and inclusion needs who identifies in a different way, such as neurodivergent.
Background
As a local government, Vincent is responsible for providing public facilities, services and events and it is important that everyone feels welcome and is able to participate if they choose to.
Vincent's Diversity Access and Inclusion Policy provides guidance on how we address barriers to participation and inclusion and demonstrates our commitment to ensuring services and activities are inclusive.
Our Access and Inclusion Plan 2022-2027 sets out to make our buildings services, events and culture more accessible and to make sure everyone in our community feels included.
This consultation is not intended to replace this Plan. It will provide valuable insights into the access and inclusion needs of different people in our community as well as feeding into an over-arching Community Development Plan for Vincent.
Project details
Are you a person with disability, mental health challenges or neurodivergence living in the City of Vincent?
Are you a family member or carer?
If so, we need your help to make the City of Vincent a more inclusive and accessible place to live in.
Please either complete a survey, attend a workshop or contact us by your preferred method to provide feedback on your experience. We want to hear what we do well and how we can do better.
There are also many facilities and services affecting our community that are not overseen by local government, such as housing, health and education. Where there is community support, we can advocate for improvements in these areas to the State and Federal Governments.
Vincent is working with Dr Amber Arazi of ASA Access Consultancy on this consultation who will also be facilitating the Access and Inclusion Needs Workshop.
