Fulfilling the NDIS promise in housing and living: Innovation starts today

Join us for the Summer Foundation’s 2024 Annual Public Forum to discuss housing and living for people with disability who need access to 24/7 support. We’ll talk about the reforms that are needed to fulfil the NDIS promise in housing and living and look at what role innovation can play in driving this reform.

We’ll showcase innovative models of housing and living supports in Australia and overseas and hear from people who have done things differently and the impact this has had.

Join us on 17 October 2024 for this free event.
