Minister for Disability Services Andrew Constance announced the winners of the inaugural NSW Disability Industry Innovation Awards at an awards ceremony at Parliament House on 14 August 2012.

The NSW Disability Industry Innovation Awards program showcases and rewards those individuals and organisations that are out there doing things differently, thinking outside the box to progress the delivery of services and achieve results for people with a disability, their families and carers.

“The response has been nothing short of impressive and only confirms the confidence I have in the sector that it is tackling the challenges of implementing the large scale reforms across New South Wales head on,” said Mr Constance.

The awards are an initiative of the NSW Government in partnership with National Disability Services (NDS) NSW to recognise excellence in the disability sector.
