ACPNS Seminar: NDIS – An Honest Conversation

Paul is speaking at a seminar being hosted by the Australian Centre for Philanthropy and Non-Profit Studies being held on 15 April 2019 at 5:15 for a 5:30pm start, to finish at 7:00pm.

This is your rare opportunity to join a conversation – in person or online – with those in the know about improvements made and improvements still needed in the rollout of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). You will hear from people with deep NDIS connection and experience and have the opportunity to put your thoughts and questions forward in a constructive and informed environment. Or just get up-to-speed on the NDIS state of play.

But be quick – there are limited seats available for this free thought leadership event!

The seminar will be facilitated by Emeritus Professor Myles McGregor-Lowndes and the panel will include:

• Zoe Gill, Assistant Director, Community and Mainstream Engagement, South East Queensland at NDIS and ACPNS alumnus: Zoe will give a brief overview of the rollout, including 10 improvements made in the last year.
• Alan Hough, Director at Purpose at Work and ACPNS alumnus: For the past six years, Alan has been consulting with nonprofit disability service providers as they have prepared for the NDIS, and as they transferred to the scheme. As part of the ‘honest conversation’ format, Alan will discuss 10 improvements the sector still needs to see from the scheme. 

• Paul Paxton-Hall, Director of Paxton-Hall Lawyers and specialist in nonprofit law: Paul acts for a number of disability service providers, some of which have registered with the NDIS. His practice extends to complaint handling and advice. Paul will advise on how providers should be planning for the Disability Services Royal Commission and the broader issues of quality and safeguarding that nonprofits need to be considering now.

 You’re welcome to attend in person or online.
