NSW Foundational Supports Focus Group Expression of Interest- Young People with Disability

Introduction

If you are a young person with disability aged 15 - 25, living in NSW and you want to have your say about the development of Foundational Supports for Children with Disability in NSW, our upcoming session is for you!


Right now, the NSW Government is preparing to design foundational supports — services that will help children under 9 with autism or developmental delay, and their families and carers, get the support they need early in life.

We want to hear what you think. If you are a young person with disability and you live in NSW, your experiences and ideas can help shape how these supports are designed so they work better for all children and families.

There will be two online focus groups. You can choose which time suits you.

You can choose between:

Focus group option 1: Wednesday 12th November
5.00pm - 7.00pm

Focus group option 2: Wednesday 19th November
5.00pm - 7.00pm

The focus group is 2 hours long. You will need to be available for the entire time. There will be breaks.

We value your time and experience! If you participate in the focus group, you will be paid a $100 gift card for your time.

Fill in the form below to let us know that you want to be involved.

If you cannot fill in the survey, you can:
  • call us
  • have a Zoom video call with us
  • email us
Or you can send a video of your response.

Contact Liz for a copy of the questions or to set up a time for a phone or video call. You can contact Liz at lizhudson@cyda.org.au or 03 94171025.

We need to get your consent to be part of the focus group.
