Opening the Door Lunchtime Forum (Free Online Event)

Five Initiatives to Deliver the Housing in the "NDIS Home and Living Plan"
Presenter: Joseph Connellan of MC Two Pty Ltd, followed by Q&A

Joseph Connellan's presentation could not be more timely, two weeks out from the closing date for submissions on the NDIA's Home & Living Consultation Paper. (refer: https://www.ndis.gov.au/community/have-your-say/home-and-living-consultation-ordinary-life-home)

Securing better housing is central to tens of thousands of NDIS participants achieving their goals.

It is also central to securing the success of the NDIS and contributing to the Scheme's financial sustainability.

To promote aspiration for better housing for NDIS participants without mechanisms to deliver it would be a cruel deception.

In his presentation, Joseph will outline five initiatives which, while complex, could contribute significantly to the delivery of NDIA's vision of an ordinary life at home for NDIS Participants.
