About this event
Welcome to Let’s Rock NSW – Rethink disability
Come join us as we celebrate and embrace inclusion, diversity and equality in the workplace. Let’s Rock NSW was launched in June 2023 as a first of its kind, whole of government event highlighting disability acceptance and awareness.
In 2025 we want to follow on the same trajectory as the 2023 inaugural event, and once again ask everyone to Rethink disability while addressing the wide-ranging barriers that people with disability face in the workplace and more broadly in society.
The event aims to:
- Improve employment rates and representation of people with disability across all NSW Government sector roles.
- Raise awareness of the importance of disability inclusion.
- Be inclusive by design, accessible by default when developing policies, products and services for the 8+ million people we serve.
- Celebrate the work that has been developed across the different areas of NSW Government.
You’ll enjoy an afternoon rocking the foundations of what inclusion, diversity, equity, dignity and accessibility really means in our workplace. A specially curated program showcasing talented keynote speakers and performers with disability.
Who should attend?
Everyone in the NSW public service is invited! Whether you’re an employee with disability, an ally or champion in the NSW public service, this is your chance to come together for an afternoon that’s all about championing disability inclusion in the workplace and celebrating the incredible achievements across our sector.
