Unmet Need In the Disability Sector - Who will care for my family member?
Thursday 3 May 10:30am to 12:30pm
195 Gilles Street, Adelaide, 5000
The two biggest worries carers of people with intellectual disability have are commonly the
- Never ending unmet need waiting lists for basic services
- What happens to their loved ones when carers can no longer support them
What is the reality in today's world and most importantly what does the future look like for so many desperate for services?
What do current topical events like
- The SA Government Social Inclusion Board "Strong Voices" report written by David Cappo really mean?
- The National Disability Insurance proposed scheme and how it may work?
- Local new developments like Individualised and Self Managed funding really mean?
- Will people be able to choose their preferred lifestyle?
- Will timely support be readily available
For those who really want more services today and want to know what will happen to those they care for when they die the answers to these questions will show the possibilities of the future.

Click here for a copy of the communiqué ASID SA developed on the direction of disability services within the South Australia.
This communiqué resulted from a workshop run by ASID (SA) in October 2002, entitled '20:20 Vision', where two nationally recognised leaders in the field of intellectual disability , Professor John Taplin and Mr Peter Millier, examined the progress that had been made in the past twenty years and identified issues that will influence directions for the next twenty years.
A draft of the communiqué was circulated amongst the participants of the workshop, seeking their feedback and enabling them to have input into the final document. The result of this collaborative effort has since been forwarded to many decision makers and people of influence in the government, non-government academic and advocacy sectors.
ASID SA has published a monograph by Professor Roy Brown. For further information check out the books page.
