Microboards webinar - Live only
A Microboard is a group of people in unpaid relationships with a person with disability who meet regularly to support that person to make plans, make decisions, be socially included, be safe and well and to have the life they want. The aim of a Microboard is also to safeguard quality of life even when parents/key caregivers are no longer able to. Jaquie Mills, founder of Microboards Australia, joined us to talk about the role Microboards can play in supporting the future of a person with disability and how they can link in with other plans, such as circles of support.
