Michelle recently attended the Able Plus event at Wallsend Diggers. It was great to meet and connect with other passionate providers who are deeply committed to supporting their communities and delivering high-quality, person-centred support to NDIS participants. The conversations focused on a shared commitment to empowering people, promoting inclusion, and making sure participants get tailored supports that match their goals and aspirations.

It was a great event that reinforced the importance of collaboration and partnership in delivering meaningful outcomes for NDIS participants across the Hunter and Central Coast!
