Welcome to the ACT Inclusion Council. The ACT Inclusion Council is a Canberra group of business, government and community leaders that work in partnership with the community to develop initiatives that value and engage people with disability as customers, suppliers, employees and employers in business.
It is the conduit between business and government, supporting new and innovative projects and events that showcase business opportunities in the disability sector and create employment opportunities for people with disability.
Nominations for 2018 awards now open!
Nominations are now open for the 2018 ACT Chief Minister’s Inclusion Awards, recognising and celebrating individuals and organisations that create a more inclusive society of people with disability.
The Chief Minister’s Inclusion Awards provide an annual acknowledgement of the outstanding achievements of businesses, organisations and individuals who have demonstrated their commitment to encourage, welcome and support people with disability in their workplace, business and community.
Canberrans are proud of the great individuals, businesses and initiatives that are abundant in the ACT. The Awards will align with International Day for People with Disability in early December and will acknowledge inclusive leaders across four categories:
- Recognising people with disability who are leaders in inclusion
- Excellence in inclusion for mainstream services
- Excellence in inclusive specialist disability services
- Innovation in design
An overarching Award for Excellence is then selected from award recipients. Last year this award went to The Dandelion Program for its innovative IT career development program.
We invite nominations for people, organisations or businesses who have demonstrated their commitment to welcome and support people with disability.
The Chief Minister’s Inclusion Awards will be presented at a gala event on Thursday 6 December 2018.
