Why take this course?

The NDIA’s new billing system, PACE, is set to go live on October 30. It’s going to involve some big changes to provider’s processes, service planning and funds flexibility with the elimination of Service Bookings. Not only that, changes to some Support Categories will mean providers have to rethink and redesign their back-office functions.

So, it’s clear that all providers should be getting across these changes – especially how billing will work, and what it means for back-end systems. 

This workshop will do exactly that. Get ready to gain a deeper awareness, calmness and clarity on all things PACE – in only 60 minutes.

Charmaine Fraser

Based in Newcastle, Charmaine has been working with NDIS participants since the beginning of the trial sites and has made it her quest to learn everything that she can about the scheme. Prior to this, she worked in Early Intervention for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Developmental Delay. When she’s not running awesome training for Support Coordinators with DSC, Charmaine is the Director of Aurora Coordination and the mother of two children, the eldest of whom has autism. Everyone who has met Charmaine will know that she is a very powerful advocate for inclusion and self management. But what you might not know about Charmaine is that she used to be a professional ballroom dancer!

Rob Woolley

Our very own Woolly Mammoth, pulls up last in the alphabetical rankings but always gets a place on the DSC podium for combining curiosity with smarts. He knows so much about the NDIS it is scary. Rob lives a personal commitment to sharing his knowledge with an endgame of people with disability in control. Combining lived experience of the early childhood intervention pathway with professional experience of the realities of provider life - he has consistently shown the inability to hold down a real job. His roles in the disability sector have covered direct support work, project management, business development, consulting, ILC-funded advocacy roles and owner-operator of a registered and then unregistered provider (but the thing he is best at is being a very present dad). If you want a consultant or trainer in your corner you will be looking high and low to do better than our Rob.

Sally Coddington

Sally is our resident NDIS wonderwoman (also fondly known as our 'pocket rocket'). Don't be disarmed by her humour, she packs a punch with her huge NDIS knowledge, intellect and energy. Sally has diverse experience across financial services, human services, B2B, B2C, for profit and for purpose industries around the world. Sally is especially passionate marketing products, services, spaces and experiences that include people with a disability. Sally is a dynamic trainer and presenter, a Certified Practicing Marketer and advocate for the rights of people with a disability.

Sally has been a prominent figure in the disability sector for nearly 15 years. She currently serves as the Director of Hunter Circles and has held key roles as a board member at The Centre for Universal Design, Business Hunter, and Community Disability Alliance Hunter (CDAH), as well as serving on the NSW Disability Council. Sally, who finished her MBA at Harvard, recently returned to university to pursue a Master’s in Disability and Inclusion (did we mention she’s dynamic?). Her dream is to do a PhD and she's putting it out there to hold her self accountable.

One of Sally's three daughters, Nicky, who passed away in 2018, was an NDIS participant for four years. Sally translates her personal and professional experience into a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities for business.
