📺 Join us for the ACD A Good Life Webinar: Supporting Friendships

We're coming together again at Inspired Carers to watch the ACD A Good Life webinar on Wednesday 26 August at 7pm.

Last week's session reminded us of the value of watching together, sharing local knowledge, discussing ideas, and exploring practical ways to create opportunities for our young people.

Over some yummy food and conversation, you'll also have the chance to connect with other parent carers, share experiences, and discover new ideas and opportunities. You never know where a conversation might lead.

Come along, learn, connect and be inspired. 💬✨

This is a great opportunity to provide insight and ideas on accessible dental care. Having regional voices involved in any consultation is incredibly important, please consider being involved if you can.

Have your say: Accessible dental care

Join ACD for a 90-minute consultation about dental care for families of children with disability.

This is a chance to share your experiences and ideas. It's not an information session or training workshop. We're looking for active participation from families to help us understand what's working, what's not, and what needs to change.

We'll discuss:
🔹 Your experiences when visiting the dentist
🔹 Challenges and barriers you have faced
🔹 Ideas to make dental care more accessible for children with disability
🔹 Practical ideas and solutions

Your feedback will help shape ACD’s advocacy work in accessible healthcare.

🎁 Participants with a Victorian postcode who actively participate will receive a $50 voucher as a thank you for their time and contribution.
