Putting people with a disability at the centre of decision making
An invitation from the Minister…
I am hosting this summit and extensive consultations around NSW because like you, I believe people with a disability, their carers and families, need to have a say about the services they receive and have control over their futures.
We know that the people best able to contribute to this process are people with a disability, their families and carers. That is why I am inviting you to attend this summit.
We are also working with peak bodies such as the Disability Council of NSW, NSW Council of Social Services (NCOSS), National Disability Service NSW and consumer organisations to seek their input.

If you can’t attend the summit, there will be many more opportunities for you to contribute your ideas. This summit is just the first step in a year long process of successive consultations and reviews. The next stage is more than 100 local consultations held throughout NSW which you’re invited to attend. Your input will help guide us in delivering a collective and collaborative solution to bring about the much needed reforms to disability services in NSW.
Thank you for joining me in this important process. I look forward to hearing from you either during the summit, in one of the later consultations or via your written submission. We need to hear from you, and I am confident that with your help we can create a service system that truly puts the person at the centre of decision making… right where they should be.
The Hon. Andrew Constance MP
Minister for Ageing
Minister for Disability Services
