The WAiS Committee of Management – Easy Read

Our organisation is based around the members we have.

The members of our Committee of Management come from our membership base.

We want you to think about joining our Committee of Management.

You can put your hand up to join our Committee of Management at our Annual General Meeting in October.

We work together with:

• people with disability
• people with psycho-social disability – their disability is a mental health concern
• families
• service providers
• government.

We do this by:

• helping people build up their skills so they can do things for themselves

• sharing information and resources

• coming up with new ideas and creative ways to do things

• talking to the government about ways to make things better for everyone.

We give people:

• information
• advice
• mentoring – we guide you so you can do things well
• coaching.

We tell everyone how good it can be to have supports and services that are:

• individualised – right for each person
• self-directed – they have choice and control.
