The NDIS rollout is largely complete and the dust is settling, now is
the time to look forward as to what comes next.The past 18 months has
seen the transition of people with primary psychosocial disability
into the NDIS and significant changes in the interface with mental
health supports and services.
Each state has had its own timings, learnings and takeaways from the
NDIS national rollout. Now is the time for us to come together to
share our experience to date and look at what comes next.
The Third National NDIS Mental Health Conference streams explore lived
experience, innovation, human rights and the interface.
You will hear from Professor Mike Slade, Dr Louise Byrne, Gerry
Naughton Strategic Advisor for Mental Health for the NDIS, Christine
Morgan from National Mental Health Commission and Stephen King from
the Productivity Commission.
Conference topics and streams include;
Innovation
Innovation is much more than doing more with less - what is the vision
for innovation? This stream show-cases innovations in service design,
development and delivery in NDIS service provision as well as the
wider mental health system. Examples of great co-design and
co-production, driven by lived experience voice.
Interface
People want support to be holistic and relevant to their life. This
stream explores the interface between NDIS and the rest of the mental
health system; interfaces with primary health and health, housing,
education, employment, AoD etc. Who is doing it well? How do we do it
better?
Human Rights and Social Equity
Human rights are fundamental to why the community supports NDIS. How
does getting human rights “right” look in the psychosocial space?
How are we improving human rights in the context of – living well,
economic participation, housing, education? Exploring the themes of
“Safe, Helpful and Hopeful” in what and how we do business.
Lived Experience Workforce and Leadership
Supply of and demand for support provided by people with lived
experience in the NDIS and the rest of the mental health system. What
does it look like if we are doing it well? How far have we come
already? Where to from here?

hosting a dinner at the Intercontinental featuring a three course meal
and table wine with key note speaker, comedian and mental health
advocate Fiona O’Loughlin.
Comedy Royalty, Fiona O’Loughlin is one of the most in demand
comedians in this country.
A late starter with an award winning career of almost 20 years, Fiona
performs to packed houses in venues and festivals across the globe.
Winner of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s (MICF) Best
Newcomer Award in 2001, Fiona’s career has gone from strength to
strength ever since. In 2006 she took home the coveted MICF Piece of
Wood, an award for funniest show as voted for by other comedians. In
2007 and 2008 she was nominated for the MICF’s Barry Award for Best
Show and in 2013, Fiona was awarded Adelaide Comedy’s Best Visiting
Comedian award.
Fiona has also taken her unique story-based comedy to LA headlining
the world-renowned Improv Comedy Club. In addition to repeat seasons

In recent years Fiona has overcome a well-documented ‘battle with
the bottle’. This, like the other aspects of her life, has become
‘material’ for her stand-up. And Fiona is even funnier sober. Most
