Pursuing Ordinary Lives Through Valued Roles - Department of Social Services (DSS) ILC Project


The project aims to increase the capacity of people with disability and families in NSW to self-advocate and influence change by:
  • Participating, co-presenting, speaking, storytelling, and team leading in learning and training events held in different parts of NSW aimed at increasing social, community and economic participation, choice and control and protection of rights
  • Providing opportunities and support for public speaking
  • Increasing opportunities to influence mainstream and disability service providers and, as a result, to have greater access to mainstream and community services
  • Gaining more knowledge about valued roles, full participation, expectations, vision of full belonging and contributing to the wider community
  • Providing disability service providers and community organisations with strategies to increase the social and economic participation of people with disability
  • Participating in, and leading, local networks to continue influencing change once the project has been completed
  • Taking on leadership roles in like-minded groups and Foundations Forum itself

The project will offer strategies, tools and the confidence to be able to address the social barriers to attaining positive social roles in community.
