National Disability Insurance Scheme

Practical Design Fund Values Based Leadership Development Workshop 7-8 March I Geelong

About the Workshop

This free two-day workshop is aimed at service agencies seeking to explore their values and culture in preparation for the introduction of the NDIS. The growth in disability support funding through the NDIS has the potential to deliver significant changes to the way people living with disability (NDIS participants) are supported. Participants will have an individual budget and become authentic customers through their purchasing decisions. The values underpinning the NDIS include control and choice, and participation in community life and the economy. Given these values, it will be essential for service agencies to reflect upon, and determine, the values which underpin their work and how these values are lived out in practice. This work goes to the heart of an agencys culture. This workshop is funded through the Australian Governments Practical Design Fund.
