About the Victorian Network Events
Open to all disability service providers, network meetings are a forum for ideas, a great source of information and an opportunity to network with others that have similar focus and interests. Led by an expert in the subject and supported by NDS staff, network meetings are specific to a range of disability policy areas and meet regularly to discuss issues, policies and sector development.
Providing both a Victorian and national focus, these Networks complement the NDS National Communities of Practice and are short one hour meetings focussing on networking and sharing good practice. These networks are coordinated by NDS Victoria, however, all NDS members and providers across Australia are welcome to attend.
How to join a Network
Providers are welcome to subscribe to and attend Network meetings. To indicate your preferences, simply complete the subscription form. Once you are subscribed, you will receive Network meeting invites and information from your Network lead straight to your inbox.
Please note: Invitations to register for each Network meeting will be sent to subscribers via email before the meeting date. If the next meeting is less than one week away and you haven’t yet received the invitation to register, please get in touch with the Network lead directly to ensure you don't miss out.
