Welcoming Events
People will choose to participate in events depending on the ease of access, quality and range of activities available to them. A person with a disability has a right to have access to places used by the public, which includes public events. The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) considers it illegal for public places to be inaccessible to people with a disability.
Over four million Australians – around 19% of our population - have a physical, intellectual or other disability. This figure can at times increase to about 35% of the population if you include people with temporary disabilities.
To receive Welcoming Event endorsement, complete the Checklist to Stage 3 and send to events@warrnambool.vic.gov.au to receive the Welcoming Event logo to use in your event marketing materials.
