The Disability Information & Resource Centre (DIRC) is presenting the Whyalla Disability and Ageing Expo on Friday 14 October 2011 at the Whyalla Health & Leisure Centre, 5 Racecourse Rd, Whyalla Norrie. This will be a great opportunity to find the latest information on services including advocacy, support , employment, recreation and products in one accessible location. DIRC presents an annual Disability and Ageing Expo in Adelaide and two regional expos each year, so watch out for these in 2012.
