We’ve come a long way since the initial vision of the NDIS. In only six years it has been imagined, designed, fought for, legislated, funded and trialled. Now that the full transition of the NDIS has begun, there’s still a road to travel to full implementation.

NDS’s CEO Meeting for 2016 focusses on that journey ahead. The state of the disability sector and future directions of NDS will be presented, considering the practical path to a future disability services sector that is vibrant, diverse and sustainable.

Attendees will hear from government, learn from business and industry leaders, and be challenged in their own strategic directions.

Disability service providers are agents of change, delivering NDIS supports for better life outcomes for people with disability amidst a challenging policy environment. This year’s CEO Meeting recognises the considerable contribution of disability services in making the NDIS a reality while understanding we’re not there yet.

We look forward to you joining us for the 2016 NDS CEO Meeting.
