WITTT Sunshine and VDPA will share real experiences on the leadership and agency highlighting the barriers and opportunities to influence inclusive action. They will be sharing experiences their real life experience both personal and organizational. The team will be joined by Ginette Morrison, The National Disability Coordinator, who will share insights on what the government is doing to promote gender responsive disability inclusion.
