Guides for Participants
Expos allow you to engage with a wide range of supports and services under one roof. One of the advantages of a big expo is having multiple providers that offer the same service. This allows you to ask each one questions and compare them to determine who is best suited to support you and your needs.
The large expos can be overwhelming, and while most offer quiet hours over the days they are open, they can still be too much for some people. This is where the smaller, more localised expos can come into play. These are often on a much smaller scale and don’t come with as much noise as the large crowds.
A benefit of both big and small expos is that the NDIA or the local NDIS partners will have a booth, allowing you to ask questions in person that you may have been putting off, not wanting to be on the phone for an extended period.
