Join us for a meeting for people with an intellectual disability and supporters. The webinar is hosted by the Australian Government Department of Health and supported by Inclusion Australia.
The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the importance of getting a COVID-19 vaccine and answer questions from people with intellectual disability and supporters.
Discussing COVID-19 vaccination will be:
- Professor Nick Lennox, Senior Medical Advisor for Disability & Health at the Department of Health. Nick has worked as a medical practitioner with people with intellectual disability over many years.
- Tara Elliffe, a self-advocate from NSW who has had a Covid jab. Tara will talk about her experience and why getting the jab was important to her.
A staff member from Inclusion Australia will also help with questions and other things.
An Auslan interpreter and live captioning will be available during the meeting.
The meeting will be hosted over a platform called Webex. Once you have registered, we will send a link to your email address to view the webinar on Webex.
If you don't have Webex on your computer, it doesn't matter. You can still view the webinar through the online link.
The meeting will be recorded so people can watch it later on the Department of Health's website.
