NDS welcomes the appointment of Marion Hailes-MacDonald as Director General of the WA Office of Disability.

Marion has extensive experience and understanding of the WA disability sector and is an experienced senior executive having led significant funding, policy direction and reform across both state and national agendas. NDS congratulates Marion on this important appointment.

Previously, NDS has advocated for and supported the establishment of the Office of Disability.

The Office of Disability will guide the State Government’s investment in a sustainable and robust disability ecosystem for all West Australians with disability.

A core function of the Office of Disability is to deliver the ten-year State Disability Strategy and its action plans and inform negotiations on a new NDIS Bilateral Agreement for WA.
