During the last few days we submitted a pitch to the ABC for a story about the platform, as part of the public broadcaster's preparations for World Disability Awareness Day in December.  We also submitted an Expression Of Interest in the incredibly exciting Myer Foundation - a scheme we have applied to before, that we know will be massively competitive. All pretty speculative, but we know we have to keep 'swinging the bat'. We are continuing to receive great community support, which is both welcome and affirming.

We are disappointed to share the news that our application for the NDRP Pilot Research Funding Round was unsuccessful.  The application reflected a great team effort and we were very happy with it. Apparently, they received 123 proposals and were only able to fund 9 applications (7%).  This apparently is pretty indicative of the budget landscape in general. We have a few other large applications under review at the moment, but we won't pretend this one didn't sting. It would have funded a firm embedding of research into the opera0tion of the platform...

We have started work on the next discussion sheet which is, Taking things to the next level. This will cover why it is good practice to aspire to take endeavours to the next level, approaches to planning, suggested progression and drawing upon the good practice of others. We hope to finish that work in the next few days and we will post an alert once we have uploaded it.

It is thoroughly sickening and positively medieval that disabled students are being subjected to this kind of shock treatment in Australia.  It's torture, it's abuse and it is absolutely unacceptable.  Please add your name to the petition.

We aren't talking about farming or food.  Instead, we are talking about followers and customers for your business, as well the community that surrounds your online efforts. Paid advertising could seem a quick and effort-free way to get big numbers.  In our experience, it is a seductive and misleading trap.  Yes, you may get a surge in numbers but their engagement is likely to be ephemeral and without genuine substance.  Third-party recommendations and endorsements, coupled with a positive reputation, is more likely to generate positive. Consequently, we recommend our members...

List your business in The BAZAAR, as a form of free advertising and it gives your endeavour a web presence, without the expense. So potential customers can engage you for less money and use a low-risk approach to test your services on a gig basis so as to test your potential as a new potential service provider. While this may feel like a distraction from setting up your business, it is actually a great way to connect with new customers.  It might also provide a way to generate income between big jobs...

Currently, the Centre for Accessibility is calling for nominations for the 2021 Australian Access Awards.  It is a great award scheme, that has a category for websites of Not-for-profits. We know it's very cheeky, but we've nominated ourselves. If we are successful, we figure it could only help with our profile building and quest to raise funds.  We've run out of digits to cross and are being nice to every black cat we meet.

If you don't already have an idea for a new business of your own, there are a few places you can turn for inspiration: (i) ask yourself, what do you, your children, family and friends wish were available; (ii) read a variety of magazines; (iii) members of our Advisory Board get some of their best ideas from watching a few TED Talks; and...

We have noted with concern news reports about deportations/visa denials because an individual lives with a disability.  So presumably will be a drain on the public purse.  This appears to have been mutely accepted by the mainstream media.  This is NOT ok.  Even though the numbers are not as good as North America, the UK and Europe, people who live with a disability are more entrepreneurial than their able-bodied peers.  We have already been meeting with Australians with great money-generating ideas...

Our talented programmers have given us a quote to: (i) to create three levels of membership (Bronze (free), Silver, and Gold); (ii) control to limit who can access different areas and what they can do; and (iii) a tweaked membership form and process. This will facilitate us offering a free basic service to all Australians who live with a disability, their carers and people with an established connection to disability in Australia...

We have started work on the next discussion sheet in the series: Equipment and supplies. This will cover: (i) Identifying your minimum needs; (ii) Paying for your minimum needs; (iii) Sourcing items; and...

We don't have a great hit rate with the Moreton Bay Regional Council's Local Community Support Grant and the grant is only for $3K, but we're going to have a crack again. This would enable us to build the new Bronze Member area of our site.  T0 his will be a free area for our community#, that will provide access to a basic version of the platform. The area will include free access to...

On Wednesday, we lodged an application for the Community Social Enterprise Development Grants Program.  This is a medium-sized grant, which would still be very helpful. It is by no means certain that we will be considered eligible for this grant.  So please keep two sets of digits crossed for us.  We will keep you posted. This application lists Griffith University, MS Queensland, MinterEllison, Mindhive and The Social Impact Hub as partners and supporters.

On Tuesday 13 July, Gary was invited to a meeting of Samford Rotary for an informal chat about Enabled.vip, disability entrepreneurship, the pilot test of the platform, our short term plans and hopes for the future.  A local journalist was in attendance and we anticipate a story about us.  The exposure would be great. After playing two of our videos (one and two), The session was conducted as an interview, with the incredibly impressive @Bob Millar spoke with Gary about the platform.  It was a great event with good questions from the audience.  It was a great and very affirming event. The meeting donated the proceeds of the night's raffle to MS Queensland...

* Global Accessibility Day is every third Thursday in May. * More than 1.3 billion people live with some form of disability, representing at least 17% of the global population. * Here are three ways business leaders can strategically embed disability inclusion in their organizations.

Have you ill health retired from 'regular' work because of a progressive or emergent condition, injury, illness, discrimination or because your disability was just making it to0 hard? But you still have valuable skills, knowledge, insights and a network? Consider using them to establish a gig-based micro-business, where you provide individual customers components of what you know as a paying gig.  For example, writing the customer a report on a matter within 30 days...

We are currently proofreading the new Discussion Sheet about making your endeavour sticky.' Gary worked on this sheet because he's a bit obsessed with the topic and believes it is an essential component of making a good endeavour great. The term "sticky" refers to many things, but essentially they refer to maximizing your connection to customers, the value of a single order and building an income stream...

Are you a crafty creative?  Such as being able to create your own striking necklaces, quilts, chairs or cuddly toys? If so, Enabled.vip can provide you with expert advice on how to monetise and promote your work.  At first, it might just be a little bit of monetary reward for work you are doing anyway, but we'll assist you to build it into much more. Use the platform's mentoring, peer-support, Resource Library, training and webinars to pursue your potential...

Yesterday, we produced the first edition of our monthly blog posts. This edition was to welcome our pilot testers.  Members of the platform will receive new editions every month. This will be a combination of content produced by members of the Advisory Board and guests. This will cover important, interesting, and inspiring topics relating to disability entrepreneurial topics.  If you know an Australian who lives with a disability, who you think might be interested in the platform, encourage them to email us at [email protected] or phone us on 0436 480 769...

We aren't gamers ourselves anymore, but our kids are or used to be.  Well, that's a sentence I never expected to write - Gary.  But this WIRED piece discusses a welcome move in terms of disabilities in computer games.  Anything that normalises disability is incredibly welcome.

A great resource about the ethical design, conduct and reporting the results of disability research with kids.  A recommended read for disability researchers, childhood researchers and research ethics reviewers.b

We are thrilled by this coverage about the platform and delighted to have Bendigo Bank as a supporter.  If it wasn't feeling like our progress was real, it certainly does now. 🙂

The primary intended audience for this event is employers, but it's great to see events like this happening. Please pass along to anyone who you feel might be interested.

Just as we were poised to get back to the Discussion Sheets, another grant has popped up for us to apply for. Part of the process would be justifying that we are eligible for funding.  The outcome of our argument that we are eligible is by no means certain.  However, it is a big grant and could make a massive difference to us.  So it's back to grant writing, at least for a few days. My academic friends commiserate, both with the time and effort it takes and dealing with the highly likely rejection...

Having completed the mad dash to get our two large grants and now settling into the anxious wait to hear the outcomes, there's only time for a deep breath before we dive back into the next few ongoing jobs. These jobs are: (i) conducting orientation meetings with our newest members; (ii) circling back to those members to see how they are going with the tasks we suggested to them...

It shouldn't take a complaint, a social media post and a news story for a business to realise discrimination and exclusion is wrong and for them to apologise.  We're incensed.

A couple of registrations earlier this week means that we currently have ten active pilot testers and still two more where we are confirming their registration. This is an incredibly exciting milestone and we are looking forward to working with our testers and assisting them to pursue their entrepreneurial goals and potential. So no more nominations are sought to be a tester, but we're still very interested to receive expressions of interest to become a member.  Any additional members will be included in our first cohort when we go live (in January 2022)...

Over the last few days we have been compiling information about the previous research that our NDRP grant would build upon and collecting quotes for the services it would fund. If this grant application is successful it would further embed research and data collection into the operation of the platform.  It will ensure our service delivery and support of clients will be evidence-based.  Importantly, this grant would allow us to collect evidence as to the value of entrepreneurship for Australians who live with a disability. So lots of positive thoughts our into the universe or prayers (depending on your spiritual or theological beliefs) until further notice.

Gary has started a discussion sheet about positive and constructive approaches to make the relationship between your revenue-generating endeavour 'sticky'.  We aren't talking about the psychological hacks some social media platforms, but something less insidious, intended to build a long-lasting constructive connection to your customers. This is the approach Gary has tried to take with his own company, AHRECS. The drafting is likely to take a couple of weeks.  We'll keep you posted.

As our followers know, we are happy users of stock photo libraries and have made great use of them across the pages of our website, our brochures and promotional material. But we've noticed a couple of trends we need to keep an eye on, the most common type of disability pictured is people in a wheelchair.  Even though a wheelchair is an obvious physical aid for some disability, there are plenty of visible disabilities where a chair would be irrelevant or even a hindrance.  The images also tend to be white, young and attractive.  This seems to be especially the case for the cartoon images.  This is a shame because some of the compositions are otherwise great. Researchers and advocates have pointed out that factors that isolate can be cumulative, so some people experience more layeers of prejudice and isolation than others.  This is something we take very seriously...

Having reflected on our experience with the pilot testing, a few months of operation and feedback from the disability community, we have decided upon a few tweaks to the concept of the platform. Once we have secured some grant/philanthropic funding, we will tweak the join form to reflect this. In the meantime, if you are interested in becoming a Bronze Member, drop line to [email protected]

On Monday our grant team will be meeting to finetune our application for the NDRP grant. A couple of days ago, we realised our approach to the application and our project budget requests needed a rethink.  Given the potential importance of these monies, we want to put the best foot forward.  Fortunately, our Advisory Board includes someone who is very experienced with grant applications, who can find time in her busy schedule and we have a volunteer who is a researcher, who is happy to help. Phew...

A heartwarming story about a Brisbane AFL team learning their team song in AUSLAN and 'singing' it for their hearing impaired teammate.  Inclusion, acceptance and respect are incredibly powerful.  LOVE IT!!

To finish building the platform and to be sorted for our first year of operation, at the same time as we've been busily writing grant applications, we have been creating a pitch deck of facts, messages and a request for philanthropic support. We have a list of charitable foundations and potential donors.  In the coming days, we will start sending them. Our sincere wish is to make it free for Australians who live with a disability to join the platform, remain members as long as they want, receive 10 hours of mentoring and enrol in the micro-courses for no charge.  Or at least at a heavily discounted rate.  Doing that requires we can replace it - hopefully with philanthropic support...

We have scripted a <10-second animation focussed on our logo, to played at the start of our workshops and animations.  We have discussed it with our talented animators, who already have some great ideas. Now, all we need is some revenue to pay for it. It's on our purchase list if we win a grant.

The platform currently has nine great testers, with whom we are excited to be working.  These reflect quite a range of disabilities, ideas and existing business knowledge.  All of them are impressive in their own rights and thoroughly admirable, if not inspiring. Do you know someone you think might benefit from participation in the platform? Pilot testers will receive around 1,600 for free and with no obligation to continue past the six month testing period..

We are busily beavering away at an NDRP grant application.  This pretty big grant would enable us (pun intended) to further embed research into the bones and connective tissue of our community of practice. Our proposal provides for paying people with a disability who serve on the six reference groups it discusses and providing them with training and experience. It also anticipates collaboration with the great THC Dignity project.We are busily beavering away at an NDRP grant application.  This pretty big grant would enable us (pun intended) to further embed research into the bones and connective tissue of our community of practice.

It also anticipates collaboration with the great THC Dignity project.

Members of the Enabled.vip team have not only personally witnessed this abhorrent reality for Australians who live with a disability, but we've also needed to endure and thrive beyond it.

Our living well section covers matters such as resilience, work-life balance, mindfulness, pets and meditation.  Even though we are keen on the value of these topics,  we know it comes down to personal philosophy and choice.  Consequently, items in this area do not appear elsewhere in the site. In the Members' Admin Panel you can specify whether you want to be alerted when these items are loaded to the site. These matters aren't essential for setting up your endeavour, but we suggest they will help you be healthier, happier and more grounded.

It's been a tough slog and we know it will be a very competitive review process, but our application for the NCIP Round 2 grant is ready to be submitted. We are just waiting for one final support letter to attach to our application.  The grant application by us, MS Queensland and Griffith University.  It is also supported by The Social Impact Hub, Mindhive and MinterEllison. The $500K+ grant would cover all of our essential setup costs and our first year of operation.  It would also cover some services we hope to offer free of charge to the Australian disability community...

Our Resource Library now includes a specialist area where we will only post our sheets (discussion sheets and resource sheets). These are the in-house resources we are producing for members of the platform.  They contain tips, ideas, warnings about trips and traps, as well as useful links. Our hope is these tailored resources will provide essential guidance and support for aspiring disability entrepreneurs.

Based upon our interactions with our pilot testers, the generous advice of our pro bono lawyers MinterEllison and our thoughts about how to best support Australia's disability community, the Board is currently considering a tweak of our service offerings and pricing structure. Once we have settled on the plan, we will report back. Despite this rethink, we are energised by the members we are working with and their incredible plans.

The Queensland Social Enterprise Council team has kindly offered that if Enabled . vip identifies that a member would be a good addition to the QSEC community, they would provide a discount on their usual membership fee. QSEC is a fantastic group and we support their work.  They provide members with very useful training opportunities, great resources and an excellent community... Membership of QSEC would be appropriate for a not-for-profit service for Queenslanders who live with a disability...

It shouldn't need saying, but we'll say it anyway, stories like this underscore that a home-based endeavour is real work that has a valuable role to play in the Australian economy and society. We are thrilled to be helping Australians who live with a disability to pursue their entrepreneurial potential.  And to set up work that suits their disability and needs.

This week we lodged an application for a community grant from Australia Post. The scheme is focused on mental health initiatives, so we discussed the mental health benefits, community engagement and dignity that can come from establishing and operating a money-generating endeavour. It is not a large grant but would be very helpful.  We will keep you posted.

We are excited to report we now have eight pilot testers and we've been busily conducting orientation meetings.  Those meetings are to explain our services, discuss their goals and how we could help, and to discuss their needs.  A few times it has been to give them advice with regard to the NDIS. Our goal is to have ten pilot testers, to give our systems a good test. Pilot testers don't pay for our services for six months (including receiving 10 hours of on-call mentoring for free).  In total that's $1600 worth of services for free. Do you know someone who wants to monetise a hobby/craft, might be able to conduct a gig-based micro business, or has a burning idea for a small business?  Encourage them to contact us at either [email protected] or 0436 480 769.

This 1:45m video is to support the ethical inclusion in research of people who live with a disability. Gary is proud to have been the chief investigator of the project that culminated in this video.  In addition to being CEO of Enabled.vip, he is the Managing Director of AHRECS.

We are delighted and very grateful DLI has included in their newsletter a note about our pilot test.  We already have two enquiries from it!  DLI is a great service and community.  We highly recommend joining to anyone who likes with a disability. It's a paid community, but it's well worth the money.  If you are an NDIS client, you should be able to put the fee through your Social and Community budget line (Cat 4).  For NDIS clients, it's a very constructive and positive use of your Category 4 funds. If you don't have an NDIS plan, the networking and training, as well as the sense of community make the fee extremely good value. They have some great events and great activities.   Gary is a big fan.   :)...

We're big fans of the positive role pets can play in mental health, recovery and even support.  Jo had an amazing experience of her cat warning her about a household catastrophe.

This amazing a was produced by Jo Kek-Pamenter, a member of our Board and an incredibly talented designer. We love your work Jo! Do you know a business or foundation on the lookout for a worthy outfit to support?  We'd be thrilled to chat with them [email protected]

You may have noticed gaps in the numbers of published Discussion Sheets.  This reflects the order in which Sheets were produced.  We are currently working on new sheets to fill the gaps.   The drafting work is being done by two of our volunteers, for which we are very grateful...

Even though the reported trend is about Europe, this item provides powerful insight into the growth of the gig economy.  This is one of the reasons Enabled.vip has embraced the idea of the potential gig work has for Australians who live with a disability.

Friday we had a terrific meeting of the Enabled.vip Advisory Board. Some great discussion about the state-of-play, the grant applications we are working on, recent induction meetings with new pilot testers and some operational matters. The Board meets quarterly, so it will be September until we meet again.  Having said that, there is a lot to keep us busy in the meantime.

Thrilled to share that since 10 am Thursday and for the next 6 hours we will be: (i) Conducting two in-person induction meetings with pilot testers; (ii) Getting our collaborators together to discuss two big grant applications we are currently working on; and (iii) Conducting an advisory Board meeting...

There are currently 81 great items in the Resource Library - https://enabled.vip/resources/.  All of them handpicked by our team (that includes experienced business people who live with a disability, scholars and our Chairperson) for Australian entrepreneurs who live with a disability. This includes 21 Discussion Sheets - 3-6 pages of practical hints and tips written especially for our members. We are currently adding one resource and one sheet per day, including one Living Well item per week...

We have received a terrific report from Impact Innovation Group.  It was packed with great ideas, tips and suggestions.  We couldn't be more grateful for Tracy's work. It was like receiving mentoring from a knowledgeable peer or paying for a business development consultant for advice. Best of all this was a free service funded by the Queensland government...

We've been busily teeing up induction and 'first contact' video meetings with pilot testers. Work is continuing on our NCIP Round 2 application. It's hard but exciting/important work.

At least one member of the Enabled.vip happily accepts he's an Apple fanboi, so we are delighted by this news.

All members of Enabled.vip will be entitled to a stall and presence in The BAZAAR.  Perhaps this opportunity seems most relevant to our gigster members, but we suggest it can be very valuable for our small business members as well. Before you've invested time, energy and money in building a website for your business, it provides a free internet presence for your business, which lists your endeavour's name, work and contact details. You might also decide to offer some services on a gig basis, at least until you build a revenue stream...

On Friday afternoon, Gary met with Andrew and Ange of Social Scaffolding, we discussed our areas of interest, our mutual passion (the psychological benefits of someone earning from their endeavours) and potential for collaboration and the value of hosting a free panel event about disability entrepreneurship. Keep an eye on this feed for details. We are quite excited about the possibilities of collaboration.

If, like two members of our Board you live with Multiple Sclerosis, HUZZAH! today is your day. 🙂 There are many symptoms of MS that are invisible to lay strangers that can be debilitating and make 'regular' work impossible.  If you live with MS, we would love to hear from you. Contact us on [email protected] or phone 0436 480 769...

This week, Gary had a terrific meeting with Dr Tracy Stanley, Senior Associate of the Impact Innovation Group Pty Ltd. The group provides support through Queensland Business to assist entrepreneurs and innovators. As a fledgling not-for-profit, we weren't sure how relevant and useful this would be. But this was a terrific meeting. Tracy and Gary discussed a few very useful ideas and this largely confirmed the platform is a great idea, that will serve not only the needs of Australians who live with a disability, it also complements what the Government is trying to promote for innovation in Queensland.

Yesterday, we met with an innovation adviser to discuss some very interesting and useful ideas for realising the potential of the platform. In the last 36 hours we worked on: 1. A detailed application for a large NCIP Round 2 grant - which involves Enabled.vip, MS Queensland, the Griffith Business School and maybe one other (tbc) as partners.  The grant would cover the rest of our setup and our first year of operation. 2. Chatting to Mindhive about the connections between us and possibilities for tapping into the crowd...

Tara Moss is an inspiring model who lives with a disability.  This short clip is well worth a watch.

One idea for a gig could be listing yourself to assess/judge how disability-friendly a room/venue/service is. As a person who lives with a disability, you are extremely well placed to conduct such an assessment. As part of the Enabled.vip service, you will automatically get a stall in The BAZAAR. You can also list your availability to do such assessments in local Facebook pages and other community news services. An important component of such a service will be producing a polished and professional report. The platform will provide tips in terms of that kind of work.

Thanks to an introduction by Elizabeth Kendall (Enabled.vip Board member, THC Executive Director, Griffith University) we have sent some information about the platform to this impressive group. We would be thrilled to form some sort of partnership with them, but we are conscious that we are very early journey and still a bit of a minnow in a very large pond. We will definitely keep you posted about any developments.

Last week we submitted three new applications for grant funding.  These have been a combination of small and large grants. While we can conduct our pilot and commence operations with the funding, team and resources we currently have, the additional funding would make life a lot less stressful. If you come across any grants you think might be relevant or sources of funding you feel are worth exploring, please email us at [email protected]

Today, we submitted a revised application to the AMP’s Tomorrow Fund.  We are very happy with it and feel it put a strong foot forward for the platform.  Having said that, it's a large grant, which we are sure will generate a lot of applications, so we are keeping our expectations in check. If successful the grant monies would enable us to: (i) buy out some of Gary's time from Griffith University...

Apparently, 30% of Australians are reluctant to be vaccinated, while some of the most vulnerable and at risk members of society wait in anguished frustration.  In this great ABC interview, Christina Ryan, CEO / Founder of DLI reflects on the plight of Australians who live with a disability.

We have drafted an initial pitch for corporate sponsorship and we are finetuning it on the basis of generous advice from our professional networks.  Even though our applications for grants are continuing, we have decided to explore whether we can attract corporate contributions.  In this context, the generous support offered by MS Queensland (accepting donations and issuing Tax Receipts on our behalf) will be invaluable...

Today we wrote to Care Coordinators operating in Queensland, to tell them about our platform and service, our pilot test and to offer services worth $1,500 to any of their members who are interested in becoming a pilot tester. If you know of anyone who might be interested, encourage to email Gary Allen at [email protected] or to phone 0419 653 028. Since making a limited start, we have posted 17 resources including 08 Enabled Discussion Sheets.

It's a video from 2014, but we thought we might share this video about our CEO's MS story. Gary is an experienced manager of a multi-national consultancy firm and completed his doctorate in 2006. He is also co-founder of this platform and is a passionate advocate for the value of disability entrepreneurship...

Last week, we started work on an application for the AMP Tomorrow Fund. It's a reasonably large grant and it's a very competitive scheme.  Consequently, we are keeping our expectations realistic. The money would make a big difference to the operation of the platform...

Gary has grown a successful international consultancy firm from a gig-based side hustle.  He's passionate about it as a way to generate an income and build a business.  This story illustrates this idea with dollar amounts...

We are delighted to include Bendigo Bank on our partner/supporters page. Their community grant fund has already us a small, but an important grant.  We value that support because it covered an important bill. We have another and larger application under review with them, so everyone keep your fingers crossed until we hear the outcome...

FOF BIRD SPOTTER/PHOTOGRAPHER/FAN - If your disability has curtailed your ability to visit the great outdoors, clipped your wings (pun thoroughly intended) and/or handle the necessary gear.  Perhaps start a blog/webpage where you review new equipment, share tips, talk about sites and talk about breeds. Experience suggests that if you start off with a free site, intended to contribute to the community of practice in that space, you are more likely to be successful when you seek to add paid features to your efforts. Such as a subscriber's area (perhaps using a service like Patreon) - where supporters, followers and fans could pay a few dollars a month to support your efforts. One idea that you could use on your patrons' page would be an advanced copy of something that you will be posting to your main page. This kind of approach could be pursued from home, with little more expense than a home computer, internet access, web hosting and a Patreon account. A more advanced approach to this might involve a YouTube channel, a webinar, or a regular podcast...

Do you like our idea of supporting a community of practice in the disability entrepreneurship space? With the related question, of the values of entrepreneurship in the lives of people who live with a disability, and the elegance of clients of the NDIS creating a new NDIS service. If you do, we would be thrilled to hear from you.  If you don't, we would still like to hear from you, so we can refine our thinking in terms of our approach. 

Over the last two days, we've added four items to the Resource Library. This has included a combination of government, community and academic resources. It also includes sheets produced exclusively by the Enabled.vip platform for our members...

Many people these days are struggling with tough choices. For people who live with a disability, the stakes can be matters of life and death. For people living with a disability who are aged under 50, they need the government to providing great information, not leaving us in the dark.

Have decided to start a modified pilot test, we have furiously thrown ourselves into the following work. 1. Tidying up a component of the resource and discussion sheets; 2. Organising our next six blog posts; 3. Updating our booked webinar speakers; 4. Updating our booked mentors and supporters; and 5. Updating our GBS and THC friends/colleagues/supporters...

Chithrani is a great supporter doing work for us to set up the platform. She is currently compiling a list of NDIS Care Coordinators. Our current plan is to write to them about the pilot to see whether they have someone who would like to help us to refine the platform...

Rather than leaving our current pilot testers hanging, we have decided to commence a modified version of the pilot Monday. For now we will: 1) Conduct one-on-one induction meetings; 2) Start adding resources to the library on a daily basis; 3) Start offering mentoring to our testers; and 4) Start our monthly blog posts...

Yesterday we sent information about the Pilot Test of the platform to all NDIS Plan Managers. We are also currently compiling a list of all NDIS Care Coordinators so we can also send them this information.  This is part of our effort to recruit ten pilot testers to help us identify quirks/bugs or matters that require refinement.
