Living Life My Way Ambassadors and Champions Program
On 24 April 2012, the Minister for Disability Services, the Hon. Andrew Constance MP, announced that the NSW Government was setting up the Living Life My Way Ambassadors and Champions Program to raise awareness of person centred approaches in NSW.
Vision for a person centred disability support system
The NSW Government's vision for a person centred disability support system is one in which:
- People with disability, families and carers are empowered to choose and direct the supports they require to live a good life.
- Families and carers can sustain positive and healthy relationships and pursue their own goals.
- A diverse and sustainable disability sector offers quality, person centred and cost effective supports.
About the Living Life My Way Ambassadors and Champions Program
The purpose of this two-year initiative is to raise community awareness and understanding of person centred supports and the Government's policy directions for self directed support and individualised budgets.
The Government is looking for enthusiastic people who are passionate about person centred approaches, have experience in self-managing their supports and are willing to share their experiences and inspire others.
Up to 50 community representatives from a range of backgrounds will each be appointed for 12 months as Ambassadors and Champions.
