From today, we are ceasing use of our X account.

This decision is in line with other government departments and follows a review of our communication and engagement objectives.

[Victorian Disability Worker Commission @VDWCommission]

Today, we honour the bravery and sacrifice of those who served and continue to serve. We remember the ANZAC spirit that unites Australia and New Zealand and pay tribute to the heroes who fought for our freedom. We will remember them. Lest we forget.

What does quality support look like?

We hosted a workshop asking participants:

· What makes a great disability support worker?
· What makes you feel happy, safe and respected?

Check out the amazing illustration from Think in Colour to see what participants had to say.

[Victorian Disability Worker Commission @VDWCommission]

We learned so much about what people with disability truly value in support, including:

· Feeling supported to reach their goals
· Being listened to and heard
· Being included in decisions and activities
· Skilled and qualified workers
