NDIS Unconference

NDIS Unconference 2025 — Online | November 2025

Calling Question

“How can we rebuild trust and sustainability in the NDIS — together — so that participants, families, and providers can thrive with hope and purpose?”

The NDIS is at a crossroads. Many of us — participants, families, providers, and communities — are asking: what’s next, and how do we shape it together?

Join us for a one-day online NDIS Unconference in November 2025, where curiosity, courage, and collaboration will take centre stage. Guided by our anchor question, we’ll explore new possibilities for trust, sustainability, and hope across the NDIS.

Unlike traditional conferences, this unconference puts you at the heart of the conversation. You’ll co-create the agenda, share stories, and connect with others who care deeply about the future of disability supports in Australia.

Together, we’ll seek practical pathways and bold ideas to ensure the NDIS is not just sustainable, but thriving — for participants, families, providers, and the communities we live in.
