We are proud to announce the 4th Annual National Specialist Disability Accommodation Conference - Collective Impact: Power in Purpose here in Meanjin, Brisbane.

This conference has been designed for everyone passionate and interested in the NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation sector to come together and share the successes, discuss the challenges, and improve the level of education, awareness and knowledge across the sector. This is an event run by NDIS providers to support those who work in and support the industry.

Our mission is to ensure everyone in and supporting the NDIS SDA sector has open and transparent access to a single source of relevant, accurate, timely and appropriate information.

We have curated a unique experience of presentations, workshops, sessions, world cafe and fireside chat discussions to get away from the stale conference format of sitting in one room for the entire day. We will be providing resources for you throughout the day and after the event so you can put some of the discussions, ideas and concepts into place to better support and strengthen our sector.

Thanks for your support for this event, we look forward to seeing you there!
