First Annual Disability Law Conference eBook

Legal obligations for disability service providers are evolving fast - bringing greater risk, regulation and scrutiny. From board-level accountability and fraud detection to managing worker misconduct, safeguarding participants, and navigating complex consent and privacy laws, there’s never been a more important time to stay informed.

TEN The Education Network’s two-day conference brings together experienced legal and sector professionals to provide clear, practical guidance on the legal issues that matter most. You’ll gain insights into how the NDIS Commission detects compliance failures, what the Fraud Fusion Taskforce means for providers, and how to handle internal investigations with care and legal defensibility. Sessions also explore managing employment risks, responding to serious incidents, and getting privacy, recordkeeping and service agreements right.  Designed specifically for NDIS providers, this conference offers a deep dive into the legal responsibilities that shape governance, service delivery and organisational risk. Whether you’re in leadership, compliance or operations, you’ll walk away with practical strategies to meet today’s challenges head-on.
