Special event
Accessibility and inclusion panel discussion
Join us on Thursday 28 July at 12pm for a panel discussion on the role accessibility and inclusion plays in our everyday interactions.
Panel facilitator and AFCA Senior Ombudsman, Brenda Staggs will guide us through a discussion about practical accessibility. She is joined by trio of consumer advocates who each have a unique story to tell about the humans they work with.
Accessibility is important to consumers, to financial firms and to AFCA. It’s imperative for every Australian to receive the same standard of service no matter who they are, where they come from or what their unique circumstances are.
Come along to this very special event at 12pm on Thursday 28 July.
