On Wednesday morning, I presented with my colleague Thushara about the research project we have been working on for Advance Diversity Services this year, titled “Accessing the NDIS: views and experience of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds.” (Wednesday > 10:45 am > Contributed Papers > Stream: Supporting the Transition to the NDIS).

Thank you Social Research Policy Centre (UNSW) for a very successful conference!
