National Disability Services annual CEO’s meeting on 11 December 2023

I’d like to begin by acknowledging the Traditional Owners of the land on which we meet, the Boon Wurrung and Woiwurrung (Wurundjeri) people of the Kulin Nation and pay my respect to their Elders, past and present. For the Kulin Nation, Melbourne has always been an important meeting place for events of social, educational, sporting and cultural significance.

We all work in a sector dedicated to upholding the rights of our fellow Australians living with disability. The introduction of the NDIS 10 years ago was undoubtedly an important step in creating the conditions for people with disability in Australia to live their best lives.

Today I want to talk about some of the changes the Commission has been through in our relatively short history and to reflect, in particular, on the past year and how we have significantly scaled up our operations, matured our regulatory approach, and become a truly national organisation.
