Disability Expo coming to Geelong

A COMING community event will aim to help people with disabilities live their best life by providing them with ample employment opportunities.

The Geelong Disability and WorkAbility Expo will take place at the Geelong Arena on March 14 and 15. It will bring a wide range of product and service providers together under one roof and connect them with thousands of local people with disability.

 

The event will feature practical workshops, informative and interactive presentations delivered by industry experts and advocates, and all-abilities entertainment.

Exhibitors will span industry including accommodation, advocacy, allied health, education and training, government, mental health services, and social leisure and travel.

Australian resilience transformation coach Justine Martin is this year’s 2025 expo ambassador.

Ms Martin was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2011 and in 2016 underwent three different heart surgeries for three cancers.

 

She was told by her medical professional that she would never work again.

Ms Martin will use her passion and energy to show others how they can overcome adversity by building a positive mindset.

Attendees at last year’s expo said they got plenty out of the local event.
