What Are Others Saying?

"It was very beneficial to attend the workshop as it helped make sure my understanding of new NDIS rules and guidelines was in par with what is expected/how everyone else is understanding them as well. I also struggled to go through the lump of information myself, so having Sarah present the information to me was very useful in breaking each document down into simpler steps. Thank you for also updating the content as things change and keeping us all informed with the changes!"

Casey P, Occupational Therapist

"This was very informative, covered all bases that are known to be covered at this stage. It's great for OTs to be involved so we are all on the same page! NDIS is forever changing so it's essential that as clinicians we are on top of the latest updates so we can improve the advice and information we provide to clients and stakeholders."
