"Was a great opportunity to hear a synopsis of the new legislation changes. Simple and to the point break down of legislation. Particularly when I have been on mat leave and my head is only just out of the sand"
"Muriel outlined the new changes in a succinct yet informative way. I now need to go back through my FCA template an implement the new information (remove the R&N focus). Given these recent changes, every OT working in the NDIS space should be attending webinars like this "
