Livestream tickets available!

🏠 The Imagining Home conference is a two-day exploration of typical and ordinary options for creating a home that is unique to each individual with disability.

We've invited an amazing lineup of speakers, including many people with disability who have successfully moved out of their family homes into places of their own.

Our speakers will demonstrate that the nature of a person’s impairment doesn’t prevent them from living in their own place, and that there are clever ways support can be put in place to ensure every person with disability is well supported to thrive.

Who should attend?
People with disability, their families, friends, allies, and the professionals who support them.

🗓️ Wednesday-Thursday, 20-21 May 2026
⏰ 9:00 am until 5:00 pm both days
📍Hotel Realm, Barton ACT
🎟️ In-person and livestream tickets available
✅ People with disability and their family members are invited to attend free of charge

Did you relate to Deidre’s words? Her quest to mobilise a group of trusted people to support Richard and continue ‘business as usual’ when she no longer can, is very much aligned with the work we do facilitating Circles of Support.

A Circle of Support brings together a small network of trusted people to support a person living with disability to pursue a good life with:
1. People who look out for you
2. People who help you to make decisions
3. People who aren’t paid to be there
4. People who step into safeguarding roles.

The full episode of Australian Story is now available on iView and YouTube.
