NDIS has been with us in Victoria from 2017 and we are all still learning.
The introduction of NDIS has been a significant and challenging change for consumers and families who access the public mental system. It has also been a huge change for clinicians who regularly support access and planning.
This webinar series will provide clinicians with up to date and advanced NDIS information as well as an opportunity to hear a panel discussion on each topic including Consumers/Mental Health Clinicians/NDIS Program Leads and External Subject Matter Experts.
The fifth webinar in the series will focus on the NDIS Reforms.
