The Department of Health’s Disability Health Network and North Metropolitan Health Service invite you to
join us in celebrating International Day of People with Disability 2022.
Our theme this year is supported decision making in health. To raise awareness,
this year’s event will feature keynote speaker, Dr
Piers Gooding, Senior Research Fellow, Melbourne Law School.
The event will feature a thought-provoking panel discussion, challenging supported decision making in
health. Panel members include health staff and people with lived experience of disability who will share
their insights and perspectives on supported decision making.
In addition, there will be launches of the newly updated Hospital Stay Guidelines, North Metropolitan Health
Service’s updated Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2022-2027 and the inaugural Staff Disability and
Allies Network for WA health staff.
