Events

NDS NSW Annual State Conference 2012

13 - 14 February 2012

We are in a time of unprecedented and transformative change. Against the back-drop of a future National Disability Insurance Scheme and the current shift towards individualised, portable and self-directed funding arrangements, a new vision and role for disability service providers is emerging.
We've asked Government to be bold, courageous, to BRING IT ON! To make NSW NDIS ready by 2014 and to support the capacity of the NGO service sector to be the provider of choice for people with disability, their families and carers, we need to ask the tough question: Are YOU ready to be a leader for change?
