Voice at the Table

Voice at the Table We provide practical information to ensure people with a cognitive disability have a real and equal Voice At the Table.

We offer free training sessions, starting again in March 2026. Voice at The Table (VATT) is a project of AMIDA. We advocate for an inclusive and accessible society through the way we work, and our training and resources. All our training and resources are co created by staff with and without cognitive disability. The VATT Graduate Training is for people with a cognitive disability wanting to learn

about
- their rights,
- how to speak up to make change
- the Self Advocacy movement

The Inclusion Training builds capacity in:
- government departments (Local, State and Federal)
- service providers
- community oranisations
- mainstream organisations
to remove the barriers for people with cognitive disability sitting on committees, advisory and working groups. The Monthly Meetup is a peer led group in which VATT Graduates support each other in their self advocacy journey. VATT Chat is both a podcast and a 3CR radio show, getting the living experience of people with a cognitive disability out to the world.
