About B-HART

B-HART is a social enterprise with the goal of promoting positive cultural change in the disability sector by elevating the understanding and application of human-centred and human rights-based approaches. Our mission is to elevate a human-centred and human rights-based model of management, leadership, and service practices, as the preferred practice model throughout the disability sector. At B-HART, we are dedicated to transforming human rights from principles and policy to accessible practice standards for service providers and service participants alike. We are a service for providers of disability supports and services and we do this in partnership with both providers of services and people living with disabilities. At B-HART we acknowledge the unique and inspiring journey the disability movement and the disability care and support sector have been on since Australia embraced the HOPE of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities by ratifying it in 2007. In 2013 Australia established the NDIS. The NDIS is Australia’s PROMISE to people living with disabilities that they will have control over the resources available to them for services and supports and access to an open marketplace for them to freely choose their services and supports. B-HART recognises how transformative this has been for many people living with disabilities and their families. The UN Convention clearly describes disability as a concept. It is the way we look at people, judge them, make assumptions about them and decisions based on these assumptions, and how this is what disables them, not necessarily their impairment.
