Wellington Disability Advisory Committee
Wellington Shire Council is recruiting for a new Disability Advisory Committee to provide advice to Council on accessibility and inclusion matters that concern communities across Wellington Shire. Committee members are required to attend quarterly meetings to provide Council with advice and suggestions to improve access and inclusion for people living with or caring for someone living with a disability.
Community representatives will also be invited to attend site accessibility visits at council facilities as required.
Council welcomes applications by people living with a disability who regularly spend time in Wellington Shire, or from residents who are family members or carers of people with a disability in Wellington Shire. Residents with experience, expertise or an interest in issues affecting people with a disability will also be considered.
The current recruitment campaign will close on 13 January 2023. Council will assess all applicants and compile a short list of applicants to interview in early 2023.
Selected community representatives will be required to undergo registration and induction as Council volunteers, including applying for a Working With Children Check and National Police Check, with associated costs for the checks reimbursed by Council.
Upon completing registration and induction, successful applicants will be provided a formal written offer of appointment. Community representatives are appointed for a term of three years, commencing from the date of formal appointment.
