NDS & Curtin Longitudinal Study

The first part of the longitudinal study undertaken by Curtin, in partnership with NDS, that was used to inform the development of the NDS Costing and Pricing Tool and to provide NDS with policy support, is available as a summary research paper and is the first stage of a not-for-profit longitudinal study on capacity-building in WA’s disability sector.  Part 2 will be looking at further research with disability service organisations around costing and pricing and will be available later in 2012. Part 3 of the Longitudinal Study will commence in 2013, evaluating the financial sustainability of the sector and producing indices that are reflective of the Not-for-profit Disability Sector in WA.
