Our first Disability Awareness Training session was held on 17^th of April 2023 and was delivered to the People and Culture Department.

Disability Awareness Training aims to enhance awareness and knowledge of disability and inclusion in the healthcare and workplace setting. Disability Awareness Training empowers employers to build more diverse teams and confidently supports employees living and working with a disability. This training also covered communication strategies and the importance of comprehensive care through the hospital journey.

Dan Harrowell, AWH’s Health and Education Ambassador, delivered the education with AWH’s Disability Liaison Officer. Dan has Down Syndrome and commenced work with AWH late last year. This project is a collaboration between AWH and Down Syndrome Victoria.
