Thursday 3rd December 2015, 12-1.15 PM AEDT
A webinar presented by InCharge:
Are you frustrated by information sessions without a lot of practical details? 
Well, we want you feeling confident and ready to roll at the start of 2016!
We have invited 3 independent experts who have been working with people with disability and families in 3 different trial sites to share their wisdom, reflections and practical strategies to help you make the most from the NDIS. 
Speakers provide independent pre-planning, Co-ordination of Support and Plan Management with the NDIS. Being independent means they do not work for any particular service provider. Learn from those on-the-ground, working directly with people in South Australia, ACT and the Hunter, NSW.
Our aim is to connect you with innovators nationally and internationally, so this is an online seminar.
