Just 48 of the 140 participants provided feedback. Of this cohort the following results were collected. The morning presentations received a range of reviews, with the majority of participants finding them useful. The ROAR presentation on accessing the scheme and the presentation on Activating Supports were most popular. It is noted that both had a strong case presentation focus. Afternoon presentations rated more highly than those in the morning program. Mental Health Victoria was found to provide the most useful content. The overall view of respondents was that the forum provided a good level of improvement in knowledge of the elements of the NDIS pathway, and available NDIS supports. Most respondents felt the forum allowed them to express their concerns about NDIS and that these concerns were somewhat addressed. Comments revealed that some people would have liked the panel discussion to be more focussed on Question and Answer opportunities and some said they were not interested in talking about collaboration. The forum aimed to strike a balance between exploring issues and supporting a positive view of the NDIS. In comments participants varied with some wanting more focus on the issues and at least one person wanting to hear more success stories. Some attendees voiced that they wondered if the access process was worth the trouble and if consumers would be better off without NDIS after attending the forum. Some participants indicated that the NDIS pathway was still confusing for them. A simple flow chart may have assisted with assimilation of the information. Examples of NDIS plans and services received, and some rationale for NDIS applicant ineligibility were requested. Some respondents would have liked more networking time and potentially some group work to explore the challenges in relation to NDIS.
