On the back of the Disability Royal Commission’s final report, NDIS providers are already looking to act on the Commission’s findings around the importance of increased digital inclusion and accessibility.   

  

If Australia is to develop its disability sector to provide world-leading supports and services, it will need to rapidly adopt digital and technology solutions aimed at improving participant experience, reducing workforce burdens, meeting quality and compliance requirements, and strengthening information security.  

  

There is no better time for the disability sector to come together to discuss digital and technology innovations that can improve participant, workforce, security and business outcomes.

  

Top priorities expressed by our attendees:  

• Bolstering quality and compliance in preparation for reform stemming from the Disability Royal Commission
