Welcome to 2016

Kath Ferry
CEO

Happy New Year to Everyone!

The year is well and truly underway. In 2016 we will be continuing in the preparation for the NDIS rollout and feel confident that SASI is NDIS Ready!

We will be hosting a series of information forums to better inform all our SASI families and carers to ensure everyone is prepared and well informed.

Our first event for 2016 is our inaugural ‘Caring for Carers Expo’ which takes place during April’s Autism Awareness month on Saturday 9th April at the Gateway Performing Arts Centre in Seaford, check out the website and Facebook for details

A big thank you to Tom Wolf and Marty Dento for maintaining the Gippsland property over the Christmas break.

For your advice....
Thanks to SASI staff who have provided simple tricks and tips that they would like to inform members of the community about – many of these have now been incorporated into the SASI training package content which we are now delivering.
