Our services
Disability Inclusion Action Plan
A Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) isn’t just about meeting legal requirements—it’s about ensuring your workplace or organisation is genuinely accessible, inclusive, and welcoming for people with disability.
I work with organisations to develop tailored, practical DIAPs that go beyond policy and focus on real, actionable change. From assessing current barriers to setting measurable goals, I help you create a plan that integrates disability inclusion into every aspect of your business, leadership, and culture.
Inclusive Governance Reviews
We review and redesign your governance structures so your committees are meaningfully inclusive, not just present.
Stakeholders are interviewed or attend focus groups to determine whether your current committee and governance structures are actually achieving what they’re meant to — you get a report with clear findings and recommendations, not just an audit checklist.
Co-design and Stakeholder Engagement
We facilitate accessible, tailored stakeholder engagement so you get genuine input without having to manage every stakeholder and meeting yourself.
Disabled voices are included properly, not consulted as a box-tick — and you walk away with a report and practical, action-oriented outcomes you can actually use.”

Testimonials
Ainslee Hooper Consulting was recommended to the City of Melbourne’s Disability Advisory Committee to review our Terms of Reference. Ainslee’s collaborative and thorough methodology gathered key insights, captured in a professional report that will guide the updated Terms of Reference. The Committee appreciated the professional, honest, and confidential process. I highly recommend Ainslee and look forward to working with her again.
