Kismic Care Index: Measuring NDIS

In this episode, Paralympian, author, and advocate Don Elgin joins Peta to explore what true connection means within the NDIS and beyond.

After representing Australia at three Paralympic Games and winning four medals, Don turned his focus to advocacy. As Head of Events at One Community, he now leads more than 120 networking events each year, connecting participants, carers, and providers to improve outcomes across the sector.

Peta and Don discuss how tools like Kismet’s Care Index are exposing service gaps, why transparency matters for a fairer NDIS, and how regional communities can become more inclusive. They also look ahead to the Australian Disability Service Awards, presented by One Community and Kismet, held on Thursday 13 November at The Pullman Albert Park in Melbourne.
