Hi all,

This popped up in my social networks today. Thought I would share here and give opportunity for someone to represent and avocate for MI voices in the NDIS.

From Every Australian Counts webpage:


"AFDO’s new NDIS Champions program will bring together people with disability from all around Australia to act as leaders in providing information about the NDIS.

NDIS champions will be run by people with disability to provide a voice for people with disability about a scheme that will transform the lives of hundreds of thousands of Australians.

ADFO is looking for champions who

-Have great connections in the grassroots disability community
-Are recognised by their peers as a good communicator who gets along well with other people
-Promote the program through their own networks
-Can inform others about the NDIS and develop relationships with other NDIS Champions to provide peer support
-Have enough time to participate in all parts of the program"

MI voices definitely need to be heard in the NDIS!

Just curious if anyone else is attending or has submitted content for discussion?
