The NSW Government is seeking a greater understanding of the needs of people with a disability in the community. This will help to build a disability service system in NSW that puts decision making control, choice and flexibility for people with a disability at the centre of their support plan.

The Government will be holding over 100 consultations across NSW to discuss a proposed system of person centred planning. A discussion paper has been released to support the consultation phase.

Registrations are now open for you to attend the consultation session of your choice.

The consultations will be held from 1 August to 2 September 2011 at a range of locations around the state.

The consultation sessions will involve small focus group discussions with people with a disability, their families and carers so that every participant has an opportunity to have their say.
