Dan Stubbs & the Victorian Disability Worker Commissioner, will be hosting an open discussion on Monday 17th June 2 - 3.30pm at Ross House.

Open to all disability community members, advocates and allies, this is an opportunity to hear about the work the Commission is doing and discuss what good support looks like.

What can the VDWC do to better support people with disability?

If the VDWC is unfamiliar to you, it's an independent regulator committed to increasing the safety and quality of the disability workforce in Victoria.

The Commission regulates all disability workers in Victoria, regardless of how they are funded or who they are employed by. If something is wrong with your disability worker or the service you are receiving, they can take action for you.

"People say that making new friends is really hard for them once they grow older, but I feel that it’s extra difficult after having a traumatic brain injury. [...] Previously, whenever I had something to share, I called a friend and discussed my thoughts. This served as therapy for me. I really miss this feeling ☹☹."
