Experts in Our Health Phase 1 Evaluation Report

Women with Disabilities Victoria are pleased to invite you to a free online event to launch the Experts in Our Health Phase 1 Evaluation Report.

The barriers to accessing healthcare for women with disabilities in Victoria are many. The Experts in Our Health Project aims to increase access to health services by building the capacity of women with disabilities, workforces and organisations. At the centre of the program are the Health Experts, who are a diverse group of women with lived experience of disability.

In this 30-minute lunchtime event, the Experts in Our Health team will present key findings and recommendations from the report, including:

• The barriers to health access driven by intersecting forms of discrimination, including gender discrimination and ableism.
• Key values, principles and practices that support inclusion and access to health services for women with disabilities.
• The importance of valuing the voices of women with disabilities through accessible co-design, employment and leadership development across the health sector.

This launch event is open to anyone interested in supporting health access, in particular those who work in the health, disability, government and university sectors.

When: Wednesday 6^th September

Where: Online via Zoom

Time:  12:00pm to 12:30pm
