Lunchtime Lecture with Dr Helen Dickinson - Stewarding Thin Markets: Improving NDIS Market Effectiveness

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) relies on market effectiveness and equity to meet its goals. Where these markets are not in place or are ‘thin,’ choice and control for people with disability is unachievable. How do we identify and build on thin markets within the NDIS to ensure services remain viable, accessible and of high quality?
