Over 2020-21 we redeveloped in-house our longstanding website at www.aqavic.org.au, which had previously functioned as a thin gateway that directed people either to our then services site or to our lived-experience resource site at www.spire.org.au.

A key objective was to introduce our services and our lived-experience resources together at a single virtual location, reflecting the integration that was taking place in the office under our strategy revision.

There was also an opportunity to express AQA’s statement of purpose graphically through the banner image of a man connecting with a child from a wheelchair. The image is rich in ambiguity, and lends itself to the interpretation that people living with disability may be well placed to contribute to others.

Further website development is expected in 2022, with the aim of consolidating AQA online resources at a single domain. This will include a brand expression project.

Acknowledgment of Country

AQA acknowledges that we live and work on lands stolen from the oldest continuous culture on earth. While our office is on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, we live and work on First Nations lands across Victoria. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded, and that this was, and always will be, Aboriginal land. We pay our deepest respect to Elders past and present, and we thank them for holding wisdom and caring for country. We also acknowledge that AQA’s work of building a more caring and inclusive society - where everyone has the resources they need to live well - follows in the footsteps of a long and ongoing struggle of First Nations peoples across the continent to be afforded the self determination, respect and resources they need to live well.

Diversity and Inclusion

Disability doesn’t discriminate, so our community is as diverse as the richly diverse culture we exist in. Having the fullest version of ourselves on display, seen and appreciated, is a fundamental aspect of living a full and meaningful life. It is also the foundation from which the full benefit of our capacity building and empowering supports are accessed. Recognising this, we have developed an organisational culture where diversity is not just thoughtfully and respectfully accommodated, but truly celebrated - be it ethnicity, religion, ability, age, gender, sexuality or gender identity.
