Directions Website

CRU - Community Resource Unit Ltd. CRU exists to create & promote positive change so that people with disabilities can belong to & actively contribute to social & economic life.

CRU believes that people with disabilities should belong to and participate in community life. This means their interests are best served when they are supported to grow up in a family, go to school at their local neighbourhood school, participate in community activities with their peers, have a home of their own, maintain strong relationships with friends, parents and siblings, work and participate in community life and have their rights as citizens protected.

Steve the Dog Trainer

Steve lives in Winton, an historic outback town in Central West Queensland. He finds satisfaction in his work, training dogs. Nothing better than a full day’s work and a cold one with mates. Steve’s approach to inclusion is all about living his life to the fullest in good company.

We’d love to share more with you in good company so please visit our website and find out when and where we are hosting our next workshops. See link in the comments.

Our new video series, Inclusion - Our Stories is the place to view inclusion in action. Dan shares his story from regional Queensland where making music is just one of the ways he expresses his passion for life. Writing, producing, recording, gigs – he loves it all and is right at home in Gympie, Queensland’s centre of country music. His other loves include travelling across Australia and spending time with good friends, sharing good food and a lot of laughs.

Bus Stop Film’s Breanna Swann joined us behind the camera for this story as a crew member – it was great to have Breanna behind the scenes!
