This is the story of an important protest in Australian disability rights history.

In 1981, disability activist Lesley Hall went on stage at the Miss Australia Quest holding a protest sign.

The pageant raised money to support children with cerebral palsy, while also promoting an ideal of physical perfection that excluded people with disability.

Hall challenged that contradiction.
Her protest took place during a significant period of disability activism in Australia, as people with disability and advocacy groups pushed for greater recognition, rights and change.

The story is a reminder that supporting people with disability is not only about providing services or raising money.

It is also about inclusion, listening to people with disability, and recognising their right to have a voice in the decisions and systems that affect their lives.

A lovely day at SACID 💚

It was wonderful to spend the day filming with South Australian Council on Intellectual Disability and their peer leaders, as part of the Claim Your Rights project.

A big thank you to SACID and all the peer leaders involved for their time and contribution to the filming. We really appreciate everyone who took part and made the day such a positive experience.

We’re excited to share more with you soon. Stay tuned!

Human rights are part of everyday life.

Through B-HART’s Claim Your Rights survey, people shared the words that come to mind when they hear “human rights”, words like rights, life, access, equality, people, support, and being treated fairly.

The responses are a reminder that human rights are not just legal language.
They shape how people are heard, included, supported and able to live with dignity.

Human rights can mean different things to different people.

As part of the B-HART Survey for the Claim Your Rights project, we asked people with disability, families and carers:

“When you hear the words ‘human rights’, what do you think of?”

The responses reflected the different ways people understand and describe human rights in their own lives. People shared words and ideas connected to rights, life, access, equality, disability rights, having rights, good life and needs.

These answers are helping shape the way we create resources for the Claim Your Rights project.

They remind us that human rights information needs to be clear, practical and accessible, so people can understand what their rights mean in real life and feel more confident using them.

Your responses are helping B-HART create resources that support people to know their rights, make informed choices and confidently advocate for themselves.

The Claim Your Rights project is proudly funded by the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing.

[Gentle music plays. The video opens on a plain white background with dark teal text in the centre that reads: “When you hear the words ‘human rights’, what do you think of?” The screen then moves to a word cloud showing “What people answered - 14 responses.” The word “rights” appears largest in the centre with 6 responses. Around it, the word “life” appears with 3 responses. The words “access,” “equality,” “everything,” “good,” “people,” “person,” “United” and “Nations” each appear with 2 responses. Other words and phrases appear with 1 response each: “disability rights,” “rights as humans,” “Constitutional rights,” “appropriate,” “needs,” “having rights,” “facets of life,” “good life” and “loss of liberty.” The words appear in dark teal, green and soft grey on a clean white background.]

Human rights should be felt—not just written.

At the Human Rights Day Symposium 2025 hosted by B-HART, we explored what it really means to bring human rights into everyday practice.

It’s not just about policies or frameworks.
It’s about walking alongside people, listening, and creating real space for choice and control.

Because real impact happens when:
✨ We build with people, not just for them
✨ We focus on relationships, not just routines
✨ We ask: How does this improve someone’s life?

This is what human rights in action looks like.

Together, we are building the confidence to claim rights and the practice to uphold them.s to begin shaping the real resources for the *How to Claim Your Human Rights* Project.

It was a powerful day.
People showed up ready to contribute, to listen, and to build something that truly matters.

Peer leaders shared lived experience with courage and clarity.
Coordinators and partners brought deep community insight.
The trust and compassion in the room allowed us to explore complex topics with care.

We were especially grateful to welcome partners from DBV who travelled from Melbourne, and a peer leader who joined us from Queensland, thank you for making the journey.

One participant described it as the best co-design session they had ever participated in. There was a strong sense that this work will make a real difference.

Clear themes emerged:
Before someone feels confident enough to speak up, they need more than information.
They need inner skills, practical language, an understanding of processes, and ways to navigate power dynamics — across services, support relationships, and even within families.

These insights are now shaping the first resources moving into development.

Resource development begins soon.

We also shared an exciting update with partners about the next stage of B-HART’s broader work to strengthen human rights practice across services. More will be shared soon.

Thank you to everyone who helped turn conversation into action.

Together, we are building the confidence to claim rights, and the practice to uphold them.

🍁 Autumn has arrived, and we’re honoured to be featured in the latest issue of Source Co Magazine.

Thank you to the Source team for highlighting the Human Rights Symposium 2025, hosted by B-HART. This event brought together leaders, families, advocates, and people with disability to move beyond conversation and into action placing human rights at the centre of disability services in Australia.

At B-Hart we believe human rights are not just principles to discuss; they are practices to live. This feature reflects a shared commitment across the sector to build a future grounded in dignity, autonomy, and inclusion.

We’re grateful to be part of this important conversation.

Last night, Community Bridging Services (CBS) Inc. . hosted The Art of Human Rights exhibition at Bearded Dragon Gallery and kindly invited .official to attend the opening night.

We were honoured to have Michaela Banks speak briefly and share insights about the Claim Your Human Rights Project. With Human Rights Commissioner Lorraine Finlay in attendance, it was a valuable opportunity to connect and discuss the important and inspiring work being delivered through this project.

B-HART is proud to continuously support . On the night, we purchased two pieces of artwork as B-HART always seek to support, acknowledge, and elevate the powerful voices and lived experiences of artists within our community.

Art plays a vital role in advancing human rights conversations in meaningful and accessible ways.

Thank you, Freddie Brincat, Ada Caruana, Joyce Wang and Craig Love for the kind invitation, and to BDG for creating a space where human rights, lived experience, and strength are expressed so powerfully.

We are now at the next stage of the How to Claim Your Human Rights Project.

Services need to evolve. Rights need to show up in everyday interactions, not just in policy documents. Through our training and leadership work, we are focused on translating human rights into practice across the disability sector.

At the same time, we are listening carefully to people with lived experience.

We have just released a short public to help shape the practical resources we develop next. We want to hear from people with disabilities, families and carers about what would genuinely help in everyday life.

If you work in the sector, please consider sharing this within your networks.

Survey closes Monday, 9 March at 9:00 am (Adelaide time).

We are also offering alternative formats, including phone and voice response options, to ensure broader access.

The ripple effect of triggers

Triggers can be sensory, emotional, social or systemic. They might arise from a crowded space, an inaccessible system or even a past experience. For individuals with disabilities, these triggers are not minor inconveniences – they can profoundly affect well-being, independence and participation. Recognising and addressing these triggers is not only an act of empathy but also a commitment to the principles of inclusion and respect.

Understanding triggers is about more than identifying what causes discomfort – it’s about creating environments, systems and relationships that are intentionally supportive and inclusive. By addressing triggers proactively, we align our practices with the human rights principles.

These principles remind us that every person deserves a life where they feel safe, empowered and able to contribute.
