Copy of Stages of Empathy Community Consultation (Community Organisations) Survey

Questions for Community Organisations

We are creating a workplace training piece to tour to organisations around Australaia in 2025. In this developmental stage of the project, we would value your input by completing this short survey. We will take some of the ideas gathered in this survey to create an original piece of theatre.

We’d like to hear from members of community organisations about their experiences working with diverse communities and creating an inclusive environment. We are particularly interested in hearing from people who either work with or have lived in experience in autism, psychosocial and intellectual disability and are LGBTQIA+.

Alternatively, if you'd like to provide your feedback verbally, please contact harry@rebustheatre.com to have a conversation with us.
