The Office for Disability
Help Us Improve the Way People with A Disability are Portrayed
The Office for Disability wants to add new photographs to our image library and we're looking for people to help us in our efforts.
We are seeking people of different ages and backgrounds with a range of disabilities who are happy to be photographed alone or with friends, family members or colleagues - whatever feels natural and comfortable.
The settings will be as flexible and varied as cafes, shops, cinemas or theatres, at work, people's homes, sporting clubs or festivals.
Thematically the photographs will highlight participation, social inclusion, leadership and human rights.
A representative from the Office for Disability will attend all photography shoots and will make sure people's individual requirements are met and that everything runs smoothly.
The images will be used in publications, presentations and may become part of a new media charter aimed at improving the way people with a disability are depicted in the public domain.
We are also asked from time to time by government departments and disability organisations to help source images but will never do this without seeking approval first.
If you are interested in helping us improve the way people with a disability are represented please contact Vanessa Simpson at the Office for Disability on 9208 3024 or Vanessa.simpson@dpcd.vic.gov.au
