House with No Steps (now Aruma) celebrates Human Rights at Annual Conference

We are celebrating our Annual Human Rights Conference, to mark the 70th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The conference will look at how our organisation upholds and celebrates human rights.

House with No Steps (now Aruma) respects, protects and promotes human rights. They are essential to living a good life, with freedom, respect, equality and dignity. We believe that all people have the same rights, including people with disability.

The conference will feature a Key Note address and a Q&A session with Emeritus Professor Ron McCallum AO, who is a director of the Board of Ability First Australia. He was made an Officer in the Order of Australia (AO) in 2006 for his services to tertiary education, for industrial relations advice to governments, and for assistance to visually impaired persons and for social justice.

The Annual Human Rights Conference will be streamed live. Watch it live here.
