Brisbane Disability Connection Expo 2023

  • Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre
  • 3rd – 4th March 2023
  • 10am – 4pm both days

Are you a participant, carer or family member looking
to understand how to navigate the NDIS?

Even if they can wade their way through the complexities of the NDIS, Queensland’s 97,000 scheme participants often don’t have the time or the means to traipse around looking for providers that not only understand them and their needs but can provide them with the help and answers they need. So our national Disability Connection Expos 2023 brings providers and participants AND the solutions together under one big roof to make life easier.

While as beneficial and vital as the NDIS is, we understand how challenging and sometimes overwhelming it can be understanding and managing your plan. Even once you get your funding approved and get access to it, you then have to try to wade your way through the complexity of who, what, when and how: Where do I go? Who do I talk to? How do I know how to find the right NDIS provider for me and how do I know I can trust them?

We make it easier at the Brisbane Disability Connection Expo 2023, sponsored by Holistic Horizons, at the Brisbane Convention and Entertainment Centre on March 4th and 5th by bringing potential clients and experts together.

As well as more than 200 exhibitors and thousands of visitors under one roof, we have a team of specialist advisors manning the NDIS Q&A Concierge Desk to answer any and all questions as well as entertainment on the centrestage every 15-30 minutes.

Visitors can view the list of exhibitors and understand who the providers are before leaving home and even pre-book private consultations with providers via our special expo app.

We’ll even be doing lots of live streaming over the two days so participants who aren’t there know about you too! Plus, the event will be live streamed, including interviews with exhibitors and sponsors - the potential to reach even more service providers is astronomical. The expo is dedicated to realising the challenges and increasing the level of CONNECTION between providers and participants.

Providers, participants, their carers and families are invited to the Brisbane Disability Connection Expo 2023. Come and get that funding sorted, those questions answered and make potentially life-long connections.

So if you're looking to kickstart 2023 in the perfect way, by engaging quality conversations and meaningful connections, register HERE today.

Why is this a must-attend expo?

Get answers to your
NDIS questions

Many NDIS Participants, Carers and Family members have questions about their funding, how it works and who to work with. We have Q&A Concierge Desks, 1:1 meeting rooms and an online booking system for you to search and find helpful Providers and Exhibitors

Clarity on your NDIS Funding Plan

Connect with informed and experienced Providers that can give you certainty so that you’re informed, educated and you can make the best decisions for your situation.

Have some fun!

We’ve designed the expo to include loads of entertainment (face painters, balloon artists, hair braiders and more), hourly performances and lots of chill out areas so you can enjoy your time, not just access information.

    Event Participants
    Connection sessions with service providers
    Want to sit down and talk to some of the Service Providers over the two days of Expo 2023?
    • Don’t just walk past tables and gather pamphlets.
    • Meeting spaces with an online booking facility to make appointments with participating Providers you would like to speak to directly will be available each day.
    • Arrange a sit-down and talk to some potential Providers to find that perfect fit for you.
    • Providers with capacity will have 20-30 minute appointment times. Attendees can book on either of the two days to find out more in a safe and no-pressure setting.
    • Traveling around having meetings with different Providers usually takes time. Meet a few on the same day and make it a little easier to compare and find the right ones for you.

    This might be your chance to find that great option you have been looking for!
