The Inclusive Movement
Building Inclusive Communities, Together
At The Inclusive Movement, we believe true inclusion means more than just access — it means belonging, participation, and thriving in all areas of life.
Led by lived experience and grounded in a human rights framework, we work alongside individuals, families, organisations, and communities to create a society where people with disability and neurodivergent individuals are celebrated, supported, and empowered.
Join us in creating a future where inclusion is not the exception, but the expectation.
October is International AAC Awareness Month, an opportunity to celebrate communication diversity and advocate for inclusive environments. The theme for 2025 is about breaking barriers and amplifying voices—because communication is a human right.
A movement for change
The Inclusive Movement is a disability-led organisation driving change across Australia.
We combine lived experience, professional expertise, and community connection to advance social inclusion, accessibility, and human rights.
Through consulting, training, advocacy, and community projects, we’re creating spaces where inclusion becomes the norm — not the exception..
Advocates for disability inclusion
We firmly believe that everyone deserves equal opportunities and a sense of belonging. We work as inclusion advocates to drive social change and create inclusive spaces within our communities. Our focus is on fostering positive outcomes for people with disabilities by offering a range of services and initiatives.
