Are you starting to think about the design of your event? Whether you're organising a community festival, corporate function, or local gathering, designing your event with accessibility in mind helps ensure that everyone – regardless of age or ability – can participate fully.

It includes resources like the NSW Government’s Toolkit for Accessible and Inclusive Events, which offers guidance on inclusive language, accessibility symbols, and a helpful planning checklist.
