Speakers Bank

You’ll be surprised by the things you’ll learn from a Speakers Bank speaker

The Speakers Bank is a group of public speakers with personal experience of disability and ageing.

All Speakers Bank speakers are trained in public speaking and are eager to share with the community the story of their lives, their experiences and their challenges. Speakers present a positive image to the community providing information about the challenges older people and people with disability face in their daily lives.

Mission

Speakers Bank raises awareness, acceptance and understanding of people with disability and older people through the power of communication.

Audiences

Speakers address community groups about barriers to inclusion and experiences relating to work, social, and recreational pursuits. Audiences include primary, secondary and tertiary education providers, corporate and not-for-profit organisations, the health sector and service groups.
