My Future, My Choice

Beyond Possible

People with disability are embracing My Future, My Choice as a way to control how they want to live their lives now and plan for the future. If your organisation provides products or services related to people with disability, our Disability Expo program is your opportunity to be in front of thousands of consumers looking for solutions.

Operating since 2014, we operate the largest Disability Expo program in Australia, with at least 7 events across the country each year. We are supported by 1000+ exhibitors and sponsors and more than 45,000+ registered attendees each and every year. Our Disability Expos provide high value opportunities for engagement between NDIS product and service providers, government and community organisations and people with disability, their families and carers.

Increase your impact and change lives – our attendees tell us that coming to a My Future, My Choice disability expo had an overwhelmingly positive impact on their ongoing care needs. 

My Future, My Choice disability expos have exhibition space for organisations who provide a variety of specialist care services, products, technologies, occupational therapy, mobility aids, modified vehicles & housing, employment, leisure & sports programs, travel, community groups, advocacy & government and much more.

INTRODUCING WORKABILITY EXPOS

ImpactInstitute has 10 years experience bringing the disability community together and we are now proud to present our new initiative – WorkAbility Expos – the initiative transforming disability employment.

WorkAbility Expos are funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services and launched at our My Future, My Choice Brisbane Disability Expo in November 2024, with the aim to connect employers and people with disability. 

WorkAbility expos have both exhibition space for government organisations, advocacy, support services, training and other organisations that support people with disability as well as inclusive employers who are actively looking to employ people with disability.

There is a dedicated WorkAbility Lounge for employers to host 1:1 consultations as well as a series of workshops and presentations to help people with disability on their employment journey.
Ask our team how you can get involved.  

"To see the amount of great providers that are here as well as seeing how many wonderful participants coming through and wanting to have a chat, and talk about their experience as a person with a disability and what they're looking for as far as support, has been exceptional."

"We've been so busy today. In fact, I actually had one carer who burst into tears because she was so happy that we were able to provide support for her. We want everybody to be able to get the support that they deserve."

"The WorkAbility Expo was a great way for us to connect with students and career seekers with a disability. We enjoyed providing details about our current available roles and pathways into the defence and critical services industry."

"Vision Australia Radio has developed a strong partnership with Impact Institute's events business in recent years. This collaboration has provided extensive promotion across our national radio network, including spots, interviews, and updates in newsletters. In return, our presence at their events has allowed us to engage more deeply with our audience and local communities, attracting new listeners, volunteers, and generating increased interest in the products and services Vision Australia provides."

"One thing that TLC really pushes for is to ensure that we capacity build, it's so important for me to be on the ground because I get a feel for other providers in the area. So, whenever we do form referral partnerships, we want to know who we're working with. So, it's just more than seeing the business on an email or on LinkedIn. People and face-to-face interactions is how you build that relationship."

"Being able to get people in the same room, to be able to show who they are and what they do, and to be able to ask questions face-to-face to people, is vital. Because a lot of people with disabilities, don't always get access. Some of them can't use mobile phones as easily as everybody else. So, being able to speak to a real human being and actually see what's going on in the industry, is a really important part of actually getting services that they need and being able to find exactly what they need help with."

"People are coming and looking for new things. And I think that's the really great thing and it's why they keep coming back. To me, why we keep coming back. It's super important for us to have those conversations and understand what people are looking for, hear what people are concerned about, and the only way you can do that is by having conversations with people."

"I think community is key in these events, and it's one of the reasons that it's important that events like these happen not only in Melbourne, but we've attended these in Geelong and other areas. Just because you build relationships, you build connections, especially in a world where we're all just trying to help everybody as much as possible, it's really great when we can all come together and present really positive outcomes."

"I think it's super important to be connected to our customers. It's always a super nice reminder why we do what we do every day, and having those very meaningful conversations, understanding the pain points of people and maybe their hopes. I find it super useful every year, so I always come to the Melbourne Expo."

"We had a great time at the Hunter Valley Disability Expo! We met and engaged with so many participants and had positive outcomes in the form of participants signing up for service, and meeting with other providers for improved networking together. A great experience overall!"

"...the event was really well organised and everything ran so smoothly. We valued meeting up with disability service providers relevant to the Fragile X community. We also really enjoyed meeting some of the Fragile X families from the area. It was a very valuable connection and awareness raising event for Fragile X.... we will be delighted to return to the Hunter Expo next time it is run."

"There's a lot more space, that means that there's more people that have come. Even compared to our other expos, everyone can just feel the vibe is different. It's more open, it's more free. Everyone's come here and ready to meet new people, ready to experience new providers."

This has been such an incredible event. It's wonderful to see all of our participants come and say hello. It's great because it really showcases community and see the amazing work that has been done in the Hunter region, which has been really good.

I think for any attendee to achieve the most about what they're looking for from an expo is to walk up and engage with the providers, the people that are here, willing to talk with them and share with them their experiences, the services that they provide, and how they do it to meet their needs and their wants.
