You are invited to attend this year’s AGM as we celebrate, reflect, and welcome new faces to our Board while thanking those whose terms have ended.

We’re delighted to announce that our special guest speaker will be NDIS Commissioner Louise Glanville.

On the topic Contributing to a Sustainable NDIS through Learning, Louise will look at the role of learning in strengthening the capability and capacity of the NDIS workforce. She will also explore how learning supports people with disability to participate fully in community, work and everyday life, building skills such as communication, literacy and confidence.

This promises to be an engaging session that sheds light on crucial issues within our field.

Our AGM will be online via Zoom, and all are welcome to attend; however, only ALA members have voting rights.
