The Beach Day Out.

In September, Integreat Queensland attended the Beach Day Out in Rockhampton. The Beach Day Out is an all-accessible beach party held at Emu Park every September to celebrate Disability Action Week.

The Beach Day Out is for children with disabilities and special needs which gives them access, and for many for the first time, to the beach and ocean, due to a ramp that runs from the park down to the beach.

“We were just one of the many organisations that attended the Beach Day Out,” Integreat Queensland Early Years Childhood Educator Karen Edwards said.

“The day not only provides access for children with disabilities, but it also provides ways for people to find out about support, services, and resources available in their community”

From stalls, games, beach activities, live entertainment, including a great variety of free, inclusive activities that were engaging and fun for people of all ages and abilities, Karen said Integreat Queensland had a stall at the event to promote our services.

“It’s important we showcase the services Integreat Queensland provide as some of them are unique to Rockhampton especially within the multicultural sector,” she said.

“Importantly, we wanted to join with many of the other services available throughout the region as we believe by joining together, we make our region stronger and through our range of programs, services, events and networks, we’re helping shape a diverse, inclusive community where people want to live.”
