BCA Inform
Tuesday, 4th February from 7:30pm to 9:00pm AEDT.
Join us for the first session of BCA: Inform for 2025 where we will be focusing on inclusive and accessible procurement practices.
Genuinely accessible procurement processes and guidelines have the potential to foster and create environments where everyone can engage meaningfully – whether as employees, customers, or community members. In this session, we will explore the types of procurements that are undertaken by government and non-government employers and how these can be improved. This session will help guide BCA’s work on developing a new Position Paper on Accessible Procurement, so whether you’re involved in procurement, are currently or previously employed, seeking employment, or advocating for accessible practices, we’d greatly value your input.
To register for the event please visit the Humanitix website.
If you have any questions or if you require assistance registering, please feel free to contact us at events@bca.org.au or call 1800 033 660.
