For Individuals & Families with kids 0-18 that:

Have a sense of a more ideal future, but perhaps not sure how to bring it to life/keep afloat on the journey.
Have already started some small ‘roles focused’ work even if they don’t know it.
Are willing to learn, take action, and use resources to bring about more relationships/roles/opportunities.
Have an unpaid social network of any size (big or small) that is willing to work together towards a great life for their child now and in the future.
Don’t want their child to be segregated from others or congregated by their diagnosis in any environment (school, work, home, recreation/leisure, etc).
Want their child to experience the goodness of everyday life and use their NDIS funding effectively as one means to bring this about.

Please note: Event is not open to paid workers/staff unless they also are part of one of the above groups (eg. Family member who happens to work in a disability related job). We do this because we want to create a safe, open space for individuals and families to learn, connect and create.
