In this terrific guest blog post, Elise Collard discusses insurance for your money-generating endeavour and why you need it as soon as possible.
Insurance may feel like an annoying extra expense. Insurance is something that you don't need until something goes wrong. But things do go wrong and if it does and you don't have insurance, you may find yourself in a very tough place. Insurance isn't a luxury, it is an essential thing for you to purchase.
Protect yourself and don't get caught out.

Diversity inspires innovation, creativity, and variety across every industry. Unsurprisingly, one third of Australian small businesses are owned by migrants. Despite the barriers of language and culture, people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds are naturally entrepreneurial.
But how does this translate for multicultural Australians who also have a disability?
Bilingualism, cross-culturalism and disability are all unique forms of diversity that should, in theory, enhance entrepreneurship. People within this intersection have a unique perspective of inclusion and ingenuity that many businesses and industries otherwise lack. After all, who is better placed to find gaps in the market than those of us living in the gaps?
The Speak My Language (Disability) program is a podcast series sharing stories and resources from culturally and linguistically diverse communities about living well with a disability.

We recently received and reviewed the first capacity building workshop we have commissioned from the Griffith Business School, Griffith University. The workshop was on branding. This is part of the suite resources that members of the platform will be able to access for free so as to develop essential business skills. Â It will be a core component of how we will assist our members to pursue their potential and aspirations.
It is incredibly exciting to be at this next step in polishing out the platform. The material was great and of the highest quality. We couldn't be happier with this work. Â The platform's objective is to create, nurture and support a community of practice in the Australian disability entrepreneurship space. Â In addition to being about helping people to pursue financial independence, it is about dignity, agency, social engagement, respect in mental health.
If you know an Australian with disability with an idea for a money-generating endeavour, encourage them to contact us to discuss how we can assist them to pursue their potential. Â We are keen to hear from them and work with them.
There are both free and paid membership categories for Australians were disability.

We are excited to share that the platform will launch as a national not-for-profit service for Australians with disability in November 2022.
The Launch will be at 11am-12pm on Thursday, 24 November at South Bank Campus Room 6.37. The Deputy Premier has confirmed his attendance as the VIP guest at the event. This will be a small in-person event which we hope will be live streamed online and we also hope to post online it as a digital recording later.
It has been a long road (has it really been two and a half years that we have been working on this). Â We are incredibly excited to be at this point and we hope you are too.
Email us at [email protected] if you have any questions.

Recently we have had a few exciting meetings and conversations. Â This has been very exciting and we're very upbeat about the road ahead. This is very exciting and we've been some great encouragement from peers and supporters.
(i) Conversation with Mable as to whether they would be willing to sponsor our launch event. It might be a couple of weeks before we hear, but this is incredibly exciting.
(ii) We met with the Westpac volunteer program and submitted a form so that we could list some volunteering opportunities with our platform (buddying in mentoring, producing a marketing plan).
(iii) Gary had a discussion with Griffith Health about our capacity-building workshops and our hopes that the Group will sponsor them.

For Australians with disability, working from home (in a set up setup around our needs) and gig work have been a boon, it has created ideal conditions that have facilitated us operating money-generating endeavours. So the prospect of everything snapping back has been pretty depressing. This drive centred around the Queensland Gold Coast is just fantastic! Â The platform is here to assist members to establish and operate your endeavour.
