Ensuring the voices of people with disability are at the centre of everything we do
OPA has established a Lived Experience Advisory Committee to provide input into OPA projects, systemic advocacy and programs of the office. The members of the committee, who are all experienced self-advocates with different disabilities, experiences and interests, meet monthly and are paid for their time.
In addition, OPA has a number of identified positions for staff with disability, as well as encouraging applications from people with disability for all roles, and recognising the value of their lived experience in the recruitment process.
