The Disability Dialogue brings people together to find common ground and find solutions that work for people with disability.
The Disability Dialogue is a safe space, independent of government, where people with disability, their families, representative organisations, providers, researchers, and the wider community come together to work on things that matter to us.
Disability advocates across the country spend close to half their time on NDIS related matters. This means advocates have a wide range of expertise and experiences about what is, and isn’t, working in the Scheme. The NDIS Review is interested in learning from this expertise, and to hear about how to make sure the Scheme is delivering for people with disability, their families and supporters.

The conference will bring together fresh ideas and new considerations, all grounded in good practice and evidence, to foster a discussion about the future of the workforce, policy, service provision and the human rights of people with disability.
The report explains, from an international perspective, why the current design of the NDIS is unsustainable and offers a regenerative vision for its reform.
