Navigating disability reform to improve lives
Against a backdrop of significant reforms to the disability ecosystem, we work extensively with governments, peak bodies, and service providers to ensure people with disability remain at the centre of policy and service delivery.
We help to improve the lives of people with disability by influencing and helping to shape disability system reforms, seeking to create a sustainable, coordinated, and enduring disability ecosystem built on strong partnerships that improve outcomes. We want all delivery partners and system stewards in the disability ecosystem to have the best advice and delivery support to make a real difference for people with disability.
With our unprecedented sector knowledge and strong track record, we drive thinking on foundational supports, support the review and transition of legacy programs, help partners manage workforce challenges, and support the assessment of service viability and design of new models of care.
