Minister Don Punch has congratulated the LeadAbility program on an important
milestone today, as it celebrates 10 years of empowering Western Australians
with disability to become influential, confident and effective leaders.
The program is delivered
by Leadership WA and builds the long-term leadership skills of people with
disability, supporting those with a disability or people who work in the
disability sector.
Since the program's inception
a decade ago, 272 people have successfully graduated from the program,
including 113 people with a disability.
The 7-day entry-level
course takes place across three months, and includes dynamic activities
focusing on understanding leadership, effective communication, teamwork, and
community.
The program is supported by State Government funding and
aligns with the State Disability Strategy 2020-2030, which sets the foundation
for building a more inclusive WA by empowering people with disability to
participate meaningfully in all parts of society, including employment.

Disability Services Minister Don Punch:
"It is important in an
inclusive society that people with disability have an equal opportunity to
participate meaningfully and have a say in all aspects of society.
"The Cook Government is
proud to support the LeadAbility program, which for the past decade has been
giving people with disability and workers in the sector the opportunity to
harness their talent, abilities and expertise on the path to becoming confident
and effective leaders.
"This in turn can
facilitate a more inclusive society in which everyone can benefit."
