Accessible Tourism Workshop
Visit Ballarat, in partnership with Parks Victoria, Travability and TEVE ( Tourism, Events and Visitor Economy), welcomes you to join the upcoming Accessible Tourism workshop. The two-hour event aims to empower business owners to disrupt the status quo surrounding accessibility for those living with a disability.
In Australia, more than 4 million people (equal to 1 in 5) live with some form of disability. For this reason, it is critical that businesses and tourism operators be conscious and more inclusive with their visitor offerings and experiences.
The workshop will demonstrate ways to create more accessible visitor experiences for people of all abilities. Guest speakers include:
- Nicole Healy, TEVE - The research and the opportunity
- Bill Forrester, Travability - Industry perspective and what businesses can do
- John Kenwright, Parks Victoria - Experience of an operator
- Paul Albone, TEVE - Where we are heading

THE CASE FOR GOVERNANCE
Governance shouldn’t be boring. It’s about people and the relationships you build in your organisation. It’s about how the board talks to management and members, and how you keep a handle on all those important suppliers and other stakeholders. It’s about how those relationships are defined and managed and the ‘framework of rules’ by which your organisation operates. Governance will always be the most important contributor to your organisation’s success or failure.
Our second Not-For-profit seminar for 2018 asks you to take a fresh look at what governance can achieve. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to gain insights from others’ experiences and access the expertise of the Harwood Andrew’s Not-For-Profit team.
We encourage you to pass this invitation onto other persons who are involved in the governance of your organisation.
