Speakers:

• 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.  
• David Richards: David Richards serves on the Board of Management at Technology for Ageing and Disability Queensland. Prior to that, he served on the board for The Osteogenesis Imperfecta Society of Australia for eight years. David is also a guest lecturer at Griffith University in the Physiotherapy department. David has been receiving assistance from NDIS for the past nine months, due to his battle with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, a condition which has seen him wheelchair-bound his entire life, and one which also affects his daughter.
