What You’ll Gain from This Event
Tackling the Funding Gap – What to Do When Supports Aren’t Fully Covered
Funding shortfalls can be a major challenge for NDIS participants. This session explores practical ways to bridge the gap, from alternative funding sources such as grants and community support to effective advocacy strategies. We will also discuss how to work with providers on cost-effective solutions without compromising quality. Real-life examples will highlight successful approaches to securing essential support.
Balancing Choice and Control with Duty of Care
How can providers uphold their duty of care while respecting participant choice, particularly when risks are involved? This discussion will explore ethical dilemmas, strategies for informed decision-making, and best practice approaches to balancing autonomy with safety. Using real-world case studies, we will encourage group discussion on supporting participants while maintaining necessary safeguards.
Networking and Questions and Answers
Engage with service providers, support coordinators, and industry experts, ask questions, and build meaningful professional connections.
Don’t forget the Espresso Martini Masterclass
While you are networking, enjoy a hands-on experience with Chef Peter (from our Transition to Work program) as he teaches you how to create the perfect Espresso Martini, while discussing the importance of practical skill-building and expert-led training in our Transition to Work and Step Up programs.
This interactive session not only offers a fun and engaging way to network with peers, but also provides valuable insights into how hands-on learning builds confidence and independence for our clients.
Walk away with a delicious cocktail in hand and a deeper understanding of how our programs equip participants with real-world skills for future success.
