ABOUT READY4


Ready4 is a program of assistance to disability service and community sector providers in the ACT.  Ready4 is a facility available to you to obtain business assistance and advice if your organisation is registered to provide services under the NDIS in the ACT or if you intend to provide such services.  The facility involves at least four types of assistance:
  1. guidance and information on pre-existing (and some new) on-line resources (to be provided in a web-portal to be launched in 2016)
  2. workshops and other group sessions on key readiness topics for the NDIS or, in the community sector, on collaboration and partnership;
  3. facilitation of communities of practice on key topics and
  4. individual organisational consultancy on business readiness. 
Ready4 will run until December 2016.  Individual assistance beyond an initial consultation is subject to application which will be available in late January 2016.  Ready4 is run by a consortium comprising National Disability Services (NDS) - the disability peak, ACTCOSS - the ACT community sector peak and RSM - business advisory and accountancy professionals. 

If you wish to contact us about assistance  - you can do so by responding to this email.  info@ready4.com.au
