What the committee does
Committee members will help Council make the Snowy Monaro more inclusive and accessible for everyone.
The committee has four main jobs:
- Advising Council about disability inclusion and accessibility
- Helping Council deliver its Disability Inclusion Action Plan
- Advocate for people with disability and raise awareness about the issues they face
- Helping the Snowy Monaro community celebrate diversity and inclusion
How Council will decide who to appoint
Council will work to ensure that committee membership reflects the full and diverse range of disability that exists within our community. Membership appointments will fairly and proportionately represent the different areas within our region, as well as the different kinds of people who live here.
