Down Syndrome NSW is hosting a FREE two-day Microbusiness Workshop in Sydney this May.

This is a great opportunity for people with Down syndrome and intellectual disability to explore self-employment, build skills and develop a business idea.

Over two days, participants will learn about business, money, marketing and pitching. They’ll also hear from people who have started their own microbusinesses.

There is also the opportunity to pitch your idea for an Entrepreneur Grant to help bring it to life.

The Foundry, South Eveleigh
27 - 28 May

Places are limited and registration is essential.

In recent months, the NDIS conversation has focused heavily on sustainability.

This has meant a strong focus on costs, budgets, fraud and changes to the scheme. This conversation matters. A sustainable NDIS is essential. But how we achieve that matters just as much.

Right now, sustainability is often being used to justify cutting supports, tightening plans and shifting risk onto people with disability and their families.

For many in our community, this is already having real impacts.

A sustainable NDIS should support people, not make life harder.

People with disability must stay at the centre of every decision.
