We are excited about our role for QDN (Queenslanders with Disability Network) in the Ipswich Community and Every Australian Counts within Qld as we believe with our background knowledge plus working with other agencies across SEQ area, we can assist in making Ipswich a place where people with disabilities want to come to Live, Work, Rest and Play!
July 2016 as Queensland prepared for the roll-out of the NDIS, under Disability Community Awareness while still doing our ambassador roles with Every Australian Counts, plus Peter’s peer-to-peer role with Queenslanders with Disability Network, we continued to raise awareness around the NDIS National Disability Insurance Scheme.
March 2020 we both continued to “Speak up to drive change for the better”, by moving back under Disability Community Awareness (DCA) which we started in 2008. DCA main focus being networking and community engagement, plus encouraging better relationships between participants and the support services they engage, with the aim being to help families and their participants get the most out of their NDIS National Disability Insurance
Scheme plans.
