The Gold Coast Disability Expo is set to be the biggest and most anticipated disability expo on the Gold Coast’s 2019 calendar. The National Disability Insurance Scheme has been available since July 1 2018 on the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Hinterland and extended regions of Queensland. This means thousands of residents with a disability from these regions will gain greater control over their lives. These residents, their families and carers will be on the lookout for the most suitable services in their local area to meet their individual needs.

The expo will offer a crucial opportunity for people with a disability to find out about the latest products, services, technology, aids and equipment. Product and service providers will also be able to connect with people with a disability, their families and carers and also build networks with other providers, organisations and agencies in the region. The expo will bring together everyone in the Gold Coast disability sector, with the aim to enhance the lives of people with a disability.

The expo will include free entry and a show bag for all attendees; over 100 exhibitors covering disability service, support, leisure and children services; the opportunity to connect with government agencies, the NDIS, advocacy and consumer rights, charities and product and service providers; NDIS presentations and Q&A sessions, children’s entertainment and live all-ability performances.
