Inclusive communities are where all members feel valued and have the opportunity to fully participate in the life of that community. In simple terms, a socially inclusive community is one in which everyone can enjoy the opportunity of participation be it in sport, culture, work or learning; where more people are ‘one of us’ than ‘one of them’.

Age Friendly Communities

Age friendly communities are those that are inclusive and accessible for people of all ages. This encompasses spaces and places and programs and initiatives that make a community better for all residents - from children and young people to seniors. Read more here.

CALD Communities

Local Governments have a significant role to play in ensuring that all refugees and new migrants feel welcomed and included; understand their rights and responsibilities; participate in our democracy and are supported with appropriate services in the local community. Read more here.

Changing Places

WALGA is proud to have developed the Changing Places video as part of the Changing Places Grant Program
 
The video is intended to demonstrate the valuable investment that Changing Places can be for communities. Hopefully, the video will encourage prospective facility owners to construct a Changing Place so that people with disability have better access to their communities and reaffirm their value and contribution as members of the community.  

The Changing Places Grant Program was funded by the Disability Services (formerly the Disability Services Commission), administered by WALGA and delivered in partnership with the National Disability Services (NDS) WA.
