SDA Insurance : The facts about SDA Property Insurance and why a domestic Landlords Policy is not enough

Challenges relating to finding SDA Participants
and; Challenges relating to filling SDA vacancies
Rapid Hospital Discharge Program – a collaborative, cross-sector approach to expedite discharge for patients with a disability from acute care settings to long term accommodation. The program removes the burden of responsibility for navigating both hospital discharge and the complexities of the NDIS, from the patient, their care team, Support Coordinator and Discharge Planner.

Recent research into the Home Modification process
Home modifications for people with disabilities promote their independence and safety and increase their health-related quality-of-life. However, the process of undertaking home modifications can involve many hurdles and setbacks, be time-consuming, and leave clients feeling that they are not in control of the changes to their own home. Coral Gillett, a researcher at the Hopkins Centre (Griffith University) will give an overview of two projects that are currently underway: Valuing Home Modifications and Home to Hospital
Valuing Home modifications:
A two-phase project that interviewed different stakeholders in the home modification process to better understand how the concepts of value and value for money are understood and operationalised in home modification practice in Australia. Phase one involved interviews with Occupational Therapists, and phase two involved interviews with end-users (home modification clients). The key findings of both phases will be presented and discussed.
Home to Hospital:
The Home to Hospital project proposes the development of a tool to support the home modification process by documenting the existing home environment and virtually bringing the patient’s home into the hospital setting. This will allow patients to interact with therapists in a virtual version of their own home environment in order to design the home modification intervention collaboratively. Home to Hospital is a collaborative project between HabITec (a Hopkins Centre flagship) and Metro South Health Spinal Injuries Unit, which aims to provide a virtual environment for patients and therapists to assess, problem-solve and design the modifications required to the patient’s home environment prior to discharge from inpatient care.

The Venue
THE GLASSHOUSE MELBOURNE
Olympic Park Oval, Olympic Blvd, Melbourne
Hidden in plain sight on the doorstep to Melbourne’s CBD, The Glasshouse is an architectural masterpiece designed for events of any size and style.
With shining views across the Yarra River and surrounds, The Glasshouse makes a statement sitting within the heart of the Olympic Park Precinct — the largest sporting precinct in the world.
Perfectly positioned on the doorstep to Melbourne’s CBD; the venue has easy access parking.
Parking
There’s a guest entrance into Glasshouse via Olympic Boulevard.
The Eastern Plaza Carpark via entrance D on Olympic Boulevard (which is across the road from Glasshouse) is open for Public Parking. Parking is subject to space available and subject to the fee set by Melbourne & Olympic Parks. This is normally $7.50. We strongly recommend you pre book parking to avoid disappointment.
Alternatively, you may prefer to use the very reasonably priced metered parking on Alexandra Avenue and make the short walk over Swan Street bridge.
Trams from the city and surrounds are walking distance to The Glasshouse.
