Annual Advocacy Conference

Picture of coffee and a program

The Speak Out Conference started in 1982.


It was made for people moving from institutions to living in the community.

 

Our conference is the longest-running in Australia for people with intellectual disability. 

 

We follow the idea of "Nothing About Us Without Us."

 

This means people with intellectual disability:

  • Are part of planning the conference

  • Are part of the committees

  • Run the conference as MCs and presenters
