What does inclusion mean to you?

That is the question we are asking in the inaugral Social Inclusion Week Youth Photography Competition.

We have $800 of prizes to give away, so if you are aged 12 - 25, grab a camera and submit your photo!

Inclusion WA is excited to announce a partnership with Perth based fitness organisation, the Aspire Group.

The partnership will benefit both Inclusion WA and the wider community, with Aspire running Community Open Days, in which they will train the public for just a gold coin donation, which will go to Inclusion WA.

A new addition to the Perth Royal Show, the ‘Bethlem Sanatorium’ attraction caused an uproar amongst those in the Mental Health sector and as a result of a campaign led by CoMHWA the exhibit was re-named and all references to mental health were removed. This was a fantastic win for all those involved in the campaign, particularly in the lead up to Mental Health week. However, there are many critics in the media, and on social media who believe this is simply another case of ’political correctness gone mad’.

Mal shares his experiences of attending the Meeting Place. 

When my girlfriend and I first started at Inclusion WA Meeting place we were just two young lovers looking to make a few friends outside work and have something to do at the weekend.

We found that, we as members, would be responsible for a range of things including being part of the very welcoming group that had attracted us to them in the first place.  We also found that the Friday in and out night and the Sunday out group activities would be up to us.  If we wanted to do something on one of those days and we thought that others would be interested, we were encouraged to raise it with the rest of the group as a part of one organism.
