*Family Leadership Workshop: Supporting people with disability and their families to be in charge. *

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will allow people with disability and their families to have choice and control over services and supports. Being in charge can be overwhelming. Where do you start? How do you know what services and supports to purchase? How do you make sure they deliver what you need? This workshop aims to help people with disability and their families answer these questions and more.

*Time: *10.00 AM to 1.00 PM

1. Why people with disability and their families are the best people to be in charge - the natural authority of families
