Alisha’s contribution
As an Inclusion Officer at Maribyrnong, Alisha supported Bandmates as part of Council’s disability-access and inclusion initiatives. This was one part of her broader work addressing barriers experienced by people with disability, culturally diverse communities and LGBTIQA+ communities.
Access across programmes and services
Her later work at Darebin Intercultural Centre included coordinating Auslan, audio description, access consultation and transport support for Deaf and disabled participants. The two settings show how disability inclusion informs both community participation and programme planning.
