2022 National Disability Conference Funding Initiative

2022 Round Table Conference Funding Support

Round Table on Information Access for People with Print Disabilities Inc (Round Table) has been successful in obtaining a grant from the Department of Social Services’ National Disability Conference Initiative 2021-22 grant administered under the Disability, Mental Health and Carers Programme. The purpose of the grant is to help offset the financial cost to self-funded individuals with a print disability wishing to attend Round Table’s 2021 virtual annual conference from 14 – 18 May 2022.

All applicants seeking a portion of the funding support made available by this grant must:

  • have a print disability;
  • be an Australian resident; and
  • complete and lodge an application on or before Friday, 8 April 2022.

Management Process

  • Applicants must complete an application. This can be done either by completing and submitting the on-line application form or by contacting the Round Table Administration Officer.
  • Within ten days of the close of applications applicants will be notified in writing of the success or otherwise of their application, the amount of funding allocated to them, and the process to be followed when making a reimbursement claim.
  • Successful applicants must, within seven days of receiving this advice, advise the Round Table’s Administration Officer (in writing) that they wish to accept the funding offer. Failure to notify their intention within this timeframe will mean that the offer lapses and the funding support can then be reallocated by Round Table’s Executive Committee.

Please Note:

  • Late applications may not be able to be considered.
  • All decisions are made by the Round Table Executive Committee and are final.
  • Funding is limited and some applicants may therefore not be successful with their request for support.
  • Priority may be given to first time attendees, as well as those who are listed as a “presenter” in the Conference Program.
  • Each successful applicant will be allocated a predetermined amount of funding reimbursement toward the cost of  registration fees.
  • All reimbursements will be made according to the instructions given on the application form and within 30 days of the claim being lodged.

Applicants are requested to complete and lodge an application before Friday, 8 April 2022.

For further information, or assistance with completing the application form please contact the Round Table Administration Officer.
