New Disability Expo coming to Langwarrin

Grace Professional Services is proud to be hosting, together with Julie Fisher, the first local disability expo right at our doorstep.

​Julie Fisher is local to the Mornington Peninsula and Mum to 3 boys. Her youngest son, Darcy, lives with Down Syndrome.

​Julie’s an author of 2 books, ‘The Unexpected Journey’ and ‘The Magic of Inclusion’. Julie shares her journey with Darcy as well as the importance of inclusion and acceptance.
​
We were lucky to have the chance to sit down with Julie and gain insight as to what the driving force has been behind the organisation of this inaugural local disability expo.

Julie admitted that organising a small local disability expo has always been a dream of hers for a long time. 

After hearing colleagues and friends consistently say that they find the larger expos in the city to be too big and overwhelming, she decided it was time to create a different expo experience.

 “It is important for people to be able to engage with support and service providers to help them with anything they may need for their children or people they care for. It can be very daunting finding supports if you are not confident and don’t have the capabilities to search online.”
​
Julie’s dream is to create a small safe place for families to attend so they can meet service providers, engage their services, and just get to know what services are locally available. 

The expo will have 28 stall holders, both support and service providers attending the expo. See the full list of Stall holders here. 
A range of presentations/guest speakers will be sharing their stories and businesses with everyone throughout the day. 

Nick loves Cartoons  will be doing free drawings on the day and some live fun live demonstrations.
One of our favourite dance & art academies, BAM Arts Inc will be kicking off the day with a dynamic dance performance!

Grace Professional Services will be attending the expo with a group of our experienced support coordinators that will be available to answer all your questions about our support coordination services that we provide.

“We are passionate about supporting our local community. We are honoured to be part of this inaugural local expo”- Sandi Grace, CEO at Grace Professional Services.
