Ms Leah van Poppel is the Council’s Principal Member.

She is also the Reference Group Co-Chair.

This means she helps run the Reference Group.

Leah shared that the work the Reference Group has done since their last meeting will help give advice to the NDIA.

This advice aims to improve positive behaviour supports.

Positive behaviour supports are ways to support how a participant acts or behaves.

Council are still working on this advice.

Leah said the NDIA will have a new CEO soon.

The new CEO will be Ms Rebecca Falkingham.

Leah welcomed people from Inclusion Australia to the meeting.

Inclusion Australia is:

• a disability organisation
• helping the NDIA with co-design.

Co-design is when people work together to plan something new.
