As 2024 draws to a close, we wrapped up the year with our Final Disability Networking Event. It was an incredible opportunity to connect with passionate professionals in the disability and support services sector.
Despite a few delays on the M1 (a Gold Coast classic), we had a strong turnout and enjoyed meaningful conversations. Our events are relaxed, round-table style, giving everyone the chance to share their stories, what they do, and, most importantly, why they do it.
In an industry like ours, referrals are built on trust, and our events help attendees form those connections. It’s not just about knowing someone’s services but understanding the person behind the business – their values, passions, and goals. These conversations foster collaboration and a deeper understanding of the diverse scopes of work within the disability sector.
