The DSR CEO Wheelchair Challenge gives our business and community leaders the opportunity through action to make a real difference in the lives of people living with disabilities, by understanding the improvements needed for access and inclusion and raising vital funds.      

On Thursday 24th October there will be a breakfast held at the MCG for the Challenge Day with keynote speakers and distribution of wheelchairs, training and safety instructions for the participants before they roll out.

We welcome and openly invite CEOs, Executives, Business and Community Leaders and Principals to spend the day using a wheelchair in their workspace, to gain a better understanding of the day-to-day challenges of people living with disability may face and to experience first-hand how simple things may be incredibly difficult for someone with a disability, such as navigating into the office, getting to your desk or accessing facilities like bathrooms. 

Date: Thursday 24th October 2024
