Disability Employment Services Forums
NESA has responded to the recent changes in the DES landscape by organising a series of targeted forums addressing key issues for both new and experienced DES providers moving into new business arrangements. NESA brings in a range of professional facilitators and key speakers for these powerful up-skilling forums.

Youth Employment Forums
Previous Youth forums have provided employers, providers and other stakeholders with more information from two PaTH Policy Experts about the new Government support available to help young Australians into work, and the important role they have in delivering the solutions.
CEO Post Budget Symposiums and Retreats
NESA regularly organises highly focussed meetings limited to CEOs of member organisations, intended to allow frank sector-internal discussion of key issues and concerns in a collegial and supportive context. These forums have been highly successful as a means to hone in on key issues for advocacy and sector outreach.

Leadership Forums
Specifically designed for sector leaders, CEOs and upper management, the NESA Leadership Forums dive into central issues affecting the sector, with the help of key Ministers and Departmental staff. They are a powerful opportunity to hear and to be heard, to network with industry peers, to exchange best practice and to raise important concerns.

International Women's Day Luncheon
International Women’s Day (IWD) on March 8 celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women. Each year NESA celebrates the incredible women in our lives at NESA’s Inspirational Women Leaders in Employment Luncheon, sponsored by Jodi Sharman from Marsh Advantage.
