Start planning

Disability Action Week is a chance to reflect on our progress and look at what we can all do to build a more accessible and inclusive state.

The theme for Disability Action Week 2025 is ‘Communicate. Connect. Create’. This year’s theme aims to demonstrate accessible communication in action in our communities and the simple changes we can make to improve access for all.

By making your information accessible, you invite more people to visit your business, attend your event, support your team, volunteer or thrive in your workplace.

During Disability Action Week, you may like to run an event to share the importance of accessible communication and learn how to connect, include and empower people with disability.

Events

Encourage colleagues to learn about Key Word Signs.
Feature the accessibility symbols and what they mean at a Disability Action Week morning tea.
Invite a team member who may use screen reader technology to show how it works and the importance of accessible documents when using screen readers.
Find a video on accessible communication, such as this video on why accessible communication matters, to play at a lunchbox information session.
Invite an expert to explain how Augmented and Alternative Communication (AAC devices) work and to provide tips on communicating with a person who uses an AAC device.
