The NDIS has done a spectacular job in giving Participants more power over how they want to be treated, by giving them more... control of their funds and choice of Providers.

These recommendations will form the backbone of the National Disability Sector Professional Leadership Body, as a framework of areas to improve. Together with industry experts, we will work together to identify key projects to work on, to bring about much needed changes in the Sector together. Get involved, take the survey today, share this and spread the word with everyone you know in this Sector. Together, we can bring about the change that’s needed!

Were here to support people who dont meet the HSP rules but who still need hearing services. We may also fund additional supports, including for HSP clients, if the supports are not available through the HSP.
