How does The Observership Program support applicants with a disability?

A: The Program actively encourages applicants who identify with a disability to apply.

The Observership Program has undertaken Disability Confidence Training delivered by Australian Disability Network, so the team can support all our candidates and Observers who identify with a disability.

Participating Boards are offered a “toolkit” comprising links to “Confidence with Disability Training” plus resources including a Check List on accessible meetings and Guidelines on “How To Run Accessible and Inclusive Board Meetings”, plus and tips on how to best support Observers placed on their boards.

The Observership Program has established its own Accessibility Advisory Committee that meets 4 times a year to discuss and advise on accessibility improvements and practices as the Program grows and develops.
