Encompass Values

• Impatience - to achieve our goals and create positive change

• Stubbornness – to not give up on things we believe

• Frustration – to not be complacent with things that should change

• Conflict – that comes from wanting things to improve

• Inexperience – because we keep trying new things and pushing boundaries

• Outspokenness – to not accept the unacceptable

• Oppositionality – to agitate for change

Encompass Mission

Encompass is on a Mission to...

•      Promote the value of more people with disabilities in all forms of employment to employers and the economy
•      To lobby government at all levels to create legislation and provide funding, as much as they can manage, not as little as they can get away with; and
•      Change government policies to make support for people with disabilities more accessible and flexible and where it is most needed
•      Raise awareness with and educate those in all sectors of our community including police, the courts, welfare systems, educators, the public
•      Be at the forefront of trends and their effect on the disability sector
•      To commit to the principles of Person-Centred Excellence in disability services
•      To utilise technology to its best and fullest to achieve our Vision and Mission
•      Celebrate achievements in our sector
