Intereach to build new long day care centre in South Albury
Facebook Posts
Today on International Day of People with Disability - Australia — we’re celebrating one of our own champions of inclusion. 👏
This year’s #IDPwD theme, Fostering Disability Inclusive Societies for Advancing Social Progress, is all about creating fairer, more connected communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Local area coordinator program manager Rebekah lives this every day. 🤲
From breaking down accessibility barriers across the Mallee to launching Hot Wheelies, Mildura’s first inclusive wheelchair basketball program, Rebekah shows how leadership, collaboration and social justice can create positive change. ♿
“If you believe in something, you need to have the courage to fight for those ideas, goals and passions,” she said.

When women are paid fairly, they gain independence, confidence, and the power to make their own choices - including the ability to leave unsafe situations.
Right now in Australia, women still earn less on average than men. This gap sends a message that women’s contributions are valued less. That needs to change.
Closing the gender pay gap isn’t just about money, it’s about safety, respect, and equality for everyone. For those experiencing racism, ableism, homophobia or transphobia, that gap can be even wider.
This #16DaysOfActivism, we join the call for fair pay, equal opportunities, and safer communities for all. Because it all starts with respect.

Well done Intereach teams 👍🏻
Everyone deserves to feel safe at home, in our community, and on our streets 🧡
No one should have to look over their shoulder or feel unsafe walking home at night.
Harmful ideas or attitudes - can fuel disrespect and violence against women. Together, we can change that.
By challenging these attitudes and modelling respect in our homes, workplaces, and communities, we can help create a culture where everyone feels safe, valued, and equal.
