Event Overview

  • As we move to the NDIS, many people with disabilities and their families are thinking about what a good life for a person with a disability looks like and how to best use the opportunities offered by the new scheme.
  • It will alsoexplore ways people and their families can both manage and direct the support they need to live a rich and meaningful life.

Questions explored in the workshop:

  • What are the supports needed for a good life?
  • How can you blend funded NDIS support with natural supports that come from family, friends and community?
  • What does it mean to direct and manage my own supports?
