Count Me In

The Commission launched the Count Me In: Disability Future Directions strategy in 2009. The strategy is of critical importance to developing a Western Australia which embraces and enacts the vision for all people to live in welcoming communities that facilitate citizenship, friendship, mutual support and a fair go for everyone.

Initiatives

A number of Count Me In initiatives support the strategy’s vision.

• Count Me In School Short Film Competition - students are invited to create a two-minute multi-media presentation on their thoughts about disability in the community.
• Count Me In Awards recognise the outstanding efforts of individuals, government, business and educational and training organisations on projects or initiatives which create more welcoming communities for people of all abilities.
• Count Me In Scholarships represent an exciting opportunity to examine the best of disability services practices in a worldwide arena for application in Western Australia.
• Media guide and designers/advertising guide
