WHAT IS DAIN?

DAIN is Council’s Disability Access and Inclusion Network and we welcome more people to participate in the group.

DAIN celebrated International Day of People with Disability over lunch following its final 2022 meeting. DAIN members are happy about their increased say in Council projects, for example the influence on the design of the new swimming centre and City Centre revitalisation.

DAIN is about supporting people with disability, their families and carers to: take part more in the community become leaders and have more say in Council decisions.

You can join DAIN by calling Mike Taggart, Inclusion Project Officer - City of Salisbury, 8406 8390 or email mtaggart@salisbury.sa.gov.au

The DAIN meeting on 6 December heard from speakers about:

• people with disability moving from consumers of services to advisers of service providers and government. The next step is for people with disability to be part of decision-making

• how people with disability can have more say in Council decisions.

The International Day was about people with disability not being left behind when government takes action on climate change, COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine.
