RDE - Regional Disability Expo Fraser Coast

RDE- Regional Disability Expo Fraser Coast
People living with a disability in regional areas and their carers constantly struggle to find the same resources as those who live in larger cities. Why? Often, it’s down to not knowing what local services and support is available to them, leaving them going without or unnecessarily travelling long distances to metropolitan areas.

Did you know? There are often more resources available to them than they realise. They just have to know where to look!

When her two disabled children - Jake, with Spina Bifida, and Ryan, with multiple conditions including high-functioning Autism - were younger, Queensland mum, Sharon Fulwood struggled to navigate the disability industry and find the much-needed support her children needed. Now, armed with countless years of insight and knowledge, Sharon is dedicating her time so that other regional parents can easily find the support they desperately need by organising the RDE-Regional Disability Expo.

Sharon, an events manager, started the RDE-Regional Disability Expo to bring the disability community together to celebrate, empower, learn, share, and experience the latest technologies available to people living with a disability and their carers. The disability community on the Fraser Coast will be able to access all available services under one roof without having to travel long distances.
“We have a full and fun day planned” Sharon says. We have a wide range of services and suppliers for people in the aged care or disability sector.

RDE is a great experience for anyone who’s life may have been affected by someone living with a disability or the age care sector. The opportunity is there to ask questions, allowing carers, family, friends, and individuals to make more informed choices.

Attendance is free for anyone wishing to find more information about disability and care products, services, and activities available on the Fraser Coast.
