*Webinar* NDIS – Navigating the Void
$50.00 (member price: $25.00)Add to cart*Webinar*
NDIS – Navigating the Void
NDIS has been central in the Sign Language Interpreting and Translating space since 2013. Here we are a decade on and many of us still have questions regarding what best business practice is when working in the NDIS space as a Non-Registered Service Provider. Questions such as:
- Do we need service agreements when working as a Non Registered Service Provider
- Do I need service agreements with every person I interpret for?
- Why are we consumables in the NDIS price guide?
- Do I need to keep notes on my interpreting jobs?
- Can I be audited by NDIS and if so, what do I need to show them?
- What are the proposed changes to the NDIS payment process?
This webinar is a recording of Leigh McPherson and Joshua Quinn for a discussion looking at the NDIS system and ways to ensure we are well positioned for any changes that may be coming.
Who this webinar is for:
Interpreters and translators looking to gain more insight into NDIS and our obligations when working within their framework.
Event Recording Details
Recorded Friday August 9th 2-4pm AEST
Auslan interpreters provided in the recording.
Presenters:
Leigh McPherson
Leigh is the Founder and CEO of Live More Life PTY LTD, a support agency in Bundaberg, QLD, dedicated to assisting the Deaf and individuals with Neurological Disabilities. I also own Auslan Synergy, an interpreting services company, and serve as the CEO of The Good Life Community Services PTY LTD, which provides support coordinators fluent in Auslan.
With over 15 years of experience in the Deaf community, I have held various roles including:
- Deaf Education
- Providing interpreting services.
- Offering forensic liaison support.
Leighs involvement with the NDIS rollout began in 2016 in Bundaberg. During the early years, I played a crucial role in supporting the Deaf community’s transition to the NDIS, working closely with consultants, NDIA representatives, the commission, and local government to address the growing needs of interpreters within the NDIS framework.
As the CEO of a Deaf-aware business and interpreting service, I continue to collaborate with consultants and the Commission, striving to create a bridge for interpreters in the NDIS space and ensure the Deaf community receives full and appropriate access amid ongoing governmental changes.
Joshua Quinn, owner of Watykev Supports and QR consultancy
As an Audit Compliance Officer, NDIS Consultant, Policy and Procedures Builder, and NDIS Training Provider, I bring a comprehensive skillset to ensure regulatory adherence and organizational efficiency.
In my role as Audit Compliance Officer, I meticulously review internal and external records to verify compliance with applicable laws and standards. I assess risks, identify deficiencies, and develop action plans to mitigate non-compliance.
My expertise in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) enables me to provide expert guidance to service providers and offer training for both NDIS providers and independents. I assist with NDIS registration, optimize service plans, and ensure compliance with Quality Standards and Guidelines.
As a Policy and Procedures Builder, I create and maintain robust policies and procedures that define best practices, streamline operations, and minimize risk. I work closely with stakeholders to identify needs, conduct research, and develop clear and concise documentation.
My commitment to accuracy, attention to detail, and effective communication enables me to effectively execute my responsibilities. I am adept at identifying areas for improvement, developing proactive solutions, and fostering a culture of compliance within organizations.
Through my training programs, I empower NDIS providers and independents with the knowledge and skills they need to navigate the NDIS landscape, meet regulatory requirements, and provide high-quality services to participants.
