Expression of Interest: Western Australian Museum Kaya Wandjoo ClubNews | Created 4 Oct 2023 About the Program As part of our commitment to being an accessible Museum, the West Australian Museum - Boola Bardip is currently seeking to partner with an NDIS service provider who services communities of adults living with intellectual disability, to work with us during the 2023/24 financial year. Kaya Wandjoo Club is a program created especially for adults living with intellectual disability. The program is designed primarily to engage this community on a deeper, more accessible level with the gallery content at Boola Bardip and increase guests’ engagement in this specific demographic. Having experienced a successful pilot phase with high engagement and stakeholder satisfaction results, this program will now be available quarterly to service providers through an expression of interest process. The successful partner and their participants will be offered four activity-based facilitated visits spaced throughout the year, incorporating a selection of our eight permanent galleries, making them accessible in a level-appropriate yet engaging and enjoyable manner for the guests who partake in the program. Our program can accommodate between 10 and 20 participants and their support workers. The quarterly sessions will take about 2 1/2 hours each and will be held during Museum opening hours, on any weekday, by negotiation with our successful partner organisation. Sessions will be facilitated by trained staff and members of our volunteer team, who hold a current NDIS Working with Disability certificate. As a condition of participation, Kaya Wandjoo Club attendees will be required to join as concession members of Boola Bardip at the cost of $10 per person, which entitles them to unlimited general admission to the museum for 12 months thereafter. There will be no other fee for participants or for the successful partner organisation for the Kaya Wandjoo Club program.
