CSU students focus on national disability scheme

6 OCTOBER 2015

Charles Sturt University (CSU) speech pathology students are holding a workshop in Albury on Wednesday 7 October to shed some light on the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The four Bachelor of Health Science (Speech Pathology) students from the School of Community Health in Albury-Wodonga have organised the workshop for people who have a family member with a disability and the wider community. "We chose the National Disability Insurance Scheme due to families in our work placement environments not having an understanding of what the new Scheme is and how it would influence them," CSU student Ms Tayla Watson said. "We felt it was important to educate those who would be accessing the Scheme in the future, so they feel more confident about what is to come." The workshop will cover what the NDIS is, how it works, identifying someone's needs and the importance of advocacy. It will be held from 5:30 pm on Wednesday 7 October at the Albury Community Health Centre, 596 Smollet Street in Albury.
