A lot has happened since our last community forum on the NDIS Bill, so we are hosting another forum to give you an update. This forum will give you the latest news about the NDIS Bill, and what you can do to have your voice heard.

This forum will be held on Friday the 28th of June, from 12pm-1:30pm Melbourne time. It will be held on zoom. The forum will be recorded, and shared via our newsletter. If you can’t attend, please make sure that you are signed up for our newsletter. You can do that here

We will have a special guest speaker – Naomi Anderson, the Principal Lawyer at Villamanta Disability Rights Legal Service. Naomi will fill us in on what’s been happening, what will happen next, and the different things that you can do to make sure that you’re a part of the discussion around the legislation.

Interactive Q&A and Open Discussion

Following Naomi’s presentation, there will be a Q&A session. This is your opportunity to ask questions and share what you’ve been doing to have your voice heard.

You will also have an opportunity to have your say on what you think of the bill and what you want to happen next.
