Sector Training Activities

Hot Topics: Session 2 – Your Organisation and the Disability Sector of the Future

Join us as Dr Ken Baker, NDS Chief Executive, major influences on the disability sector of the future including the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), not-for-profit sector reforms, individualised services and funding and workforce issues. 

These reforms will place large demands on disability service providers.  Services will need to be responsive to the exercise of choice by people with disability and their families.  The demand for skilled workers will be high and within this environment, service providers will be called on to demonstrate that they are being effective and accountable.

Ken will discuss what your organisation should be doing now to prepare for the disability sector of the future.
