Event

Welfare Self Serve: Empowering people with disabilities to help themselves

Time: 11:30am - 12:00pm

Location: The Hall

  • Speaker: Kerri Cassidy, Executive Officer, Disability Resource Centre
  • Speaker: Gillian Wilks, Director, Social Security Rights Victoria

Advocates are all too familiar with solving problems around entitlement within national systems such as the NDIS and Centrelink. It’s repetitive and annoying. Too often we make those quick calls and write those letters to speed up the process. But is this the most efficient use of our time? What if we did a better job of empowering our clients to effectively advocate for themselves?

In this session you will be introduced to a new approach to completing the disability support Pension application form and useful resources that support the process.
