People with lived experience of disability, particularly those from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
The Council is seeking applications from people with the skills to support the group’s executive, especially in undertaking research, collaborating with stakeholders, and drafting position papers.
The Council meets four times a year in Sydney, but members can attend meetings online. There is some work outside of the meetings, including reading papers and preparing reports, as well as representing the council at events and other committees.
The Council’s responsibilities under the Disability Inclusion Act 2014 include:
- Monitoring the implementation of Government policy
- Advising the Minister for Disability Inclusion on emerging issues relating to people with disability
- Promoting the inclusion of people with disability in the community
- Consulting with similar councils and bodies, and people with disability.
Being on the Disability Council NSW is not a ‘job’, but members are paid sitting fees to attend meetings and for travel, accommodation, and other reasonable requests as part of the role.
