Disability Sector Training Liaison Project

NDS WA is undertaking a project, funded by DSC, to support both metropolitan and regional service providers to improve training in the sector. NDS has appointed David Rogers as the Disability Sector Training Liaison Coordinator. The aim of the project is to:

  1. assist in educating the sector on the available training opportunities;
  2. provide feedback to training authorities on the needs of the sector; and

  3. provide advice to the Disability Services Commission on priority needs for specialist training that cannot be delivered/funded via the community-based system.

This new role has been established following a recommendation in the Sector Health Check Committee (SHCC) report
