Quality Service, intersectionality and access to services

Sean will discuss effective servicing strategies that are also quality driven with Indigenous Australians in remote areas.  Sean will highlight how intersectionality can also impact on access to quality services.

He will highlight what happens when you miss out on a service a participant may need and how this can lead to poor outcomes.  Sean will highlight issues around the accessing services of services in a decentralised territory and remote area.  Finally, Sean will build on the theme around quality service, incorporating what a client may need and how to meet these needs, when constrained by Government guidelines. Overall – Sean will be answering the question of ‘how do we build better outcomes for people with disability’ and how this will have a bigger impact leading to successful employment.
