Founders Cody & Leigh

Back in early 2022, Cody & I (both new to the NDIS) met at a local NDIS event in Rockingham.

 

We were were eager to build our network and meet other like minded people in the NDIS, but there was no easy way to do this! So we decided to create our own, and for months met on the first Tuesday of each month just the two of us to catch up and talk all things NDIS.

​

Word of mouth soon spread and our group and events quickly grew! We were constantly asked to expand into different areas of the Perth region.

​

The WA NDIS Networking Hub came to life and we hosted so many different types of events across 2023 and 2024. Our Facebook community grew to near 5,000 and we could see the impact we were making by helping providers connect with one another to better support participants. 

​

We knew there was so much more we could do, so in 2024 we started running small, local disability expos to not only conitinue to allow ndis providers to build their network, but to also welcome ndis particiapnts and their families to our events so they could directly meet and connect with quality providers to have their questions answered and to exercise their choice and control on what providers helped them achieve their ndis goals.

​

So as 2024 draws to close and 2025 fast approaches, we have rebranded to become "The DEC" which is the Disability Events Community. We are so excited to bring so many more events to the whole of Australia in 2025, so make sure you join our community and come say hi at our next event!
