The proposal from our last meeting that we should arrange for a representative of the NDIS to speak with us was discussed. There has been a delay caused by the absence of Jill Hall at her electoral office. She has been present at parliament (she is the opposition whip) and has therefore been difficult to contact. Her electoral officer, Mr Chris Hall has been helpful and has organised a contact at NDIS for us. No arrangements were in place at the time of this meeting.
Bob Devetak advised that he is still in contact with Louise Dibbs who will be well remembered by our members for her assistance when we were establishing the Auxiliary. She is now working with the House With No Steps in Newcastle, and has therefore some experience with the NDIS launch in the Hunter. Bob suggested she would be a good speaker for us. The meeting agreed and we will plan some suitable time for her if she is agreeable to the suggestion.
Paul reported that he had read a newsletter from an organisation called I D E A S which he had found interesting. Allan is to follow up.
Despite the lack of numbers, this was an interesting meeting and we covered quite a bit of ground. We expect to have some news and developments at our April meeting.
The meeting closed at 12.45
