Person Centred Approaches Consultations with culturally & linguistically diverse communities, in 17 community languages

The NSW Government is conducting Person Centred Approaches Consultations for people from culturally & linguistically diverse backgrounds. Participants will be able to express their views in their own language. The consultations will assist the NSW Government in creating a person centred disability system. In a person centred system, the rights of people with disability, and their families and carers to make choices about their own lives are respected.

Consultations will be held from 10 to 20 October 2011 at a number of locations in Sydney. The consultation sessions will involve small focus group discussions with people with a disability, their families and carers. Sessions will be conducted in 17 community languages, and each will be run by a bilingual facilitator. There will also be one workshop (conducted in English) for service providers.
