2025 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 2024-25 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 2025 annual conference, which is to be held in Melbourne from 24 – 27 May 2025.

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, 28 February 2025.

Management Process

• Applicants must complete an application. This is done by completing and submitting the on-line application form.
• 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.
