Building Opportunities, Building Communities - 2022
Keeping the needs of people with intellectual disability front and centre in challenging times.
Tuesday 4 October – Melbourne & Wednesday 5 October – Hobart. Both days available online.
Over the past year, the disability sector has been confronted with increased and conflicting requirements.
Navigating the evolving pandemic and faced with increased funding cuts, our 2022 Building Opportunities, Building Communities Conference presents speakers and workshops to consider the connection between research and best practice.
As the sector faces multiple demands, research offers guidance about how we can improve the services we offer. A research based approach can also drive a broader understanding across Government and the NDIS on why the right funding of supports is essential.
