Registrations are now open for the Riverland Disability & Ageing Expo. The first Disability & Ageing Expo held in Barmera 2011 had over 50 stalls and attracted over 500 people from the community. DIRC is committed to providing disability information across South Australia in metro and regional communities. This years Riverland Expo is expected to double in size and provide vital information to remote communities that may not have access to such a vast range of service providers all under one roof.
