Two of our fearless leaders, Hana & Julie, were honored to be invited to a round table discussion last night with our Federal Member for Dickson Ali France MP and The Hon Jenny McAllister MP Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme. It was an enlightening discussion with these powerhouse women and fellow grass roots, small providers in our region.

Being deeply connected to the people and families in our community, it meant so much to be included in the conversation, to share your voice and share your experiences.

We came away feeling both inspired and informed. It was encouraging to hear about the exciting work happening across our region and to learn more about the proposed changes to the NDIS.

Jenny's genuine passion for her portfolio, detailed knowledge and clear explanation of the proposed reforms gave us a much deeper understanding of the direction ahead for us and for our families.

We know that change can feel uncertain and, at times, frightening for participants, families, support workers and providers. At the heart of everything, however, we remain strong supporters of the purpose of the NDIS: helping people with disability live more independent, connected and meaningful lives with genuine choice, control and access to the reasonable and necessary supports they need to pursue their goals.

We were reassured to hear how the proposed changes are intended to protect that purpose and strengthen the Scheme for the people and communities who rely on it.

We also made some invaluable connections with other providers who share our commitment to disability inclusion and stronger local communities. We hope these conversations are the beginning of lasting relationships and future opportunities to work together.

What a privilege it was to be included in such a select and respected group, and to represent small providers, local families and our wonderful community.
