In this episode, Sarah sits down with Cody Thompson, co-founder of Disability Events Community (DEC) and Aged Care Events Community (ACEC) — two fast-growing platforms connecting NDIS participants, aged care participants, providers, and support workers across Australia.

From humble beginnings in Perth to hosting events across Australia, Cody shares how local community events are transforming how people find support, build connections, and grow in the disability and aged care sectors.

You’ll learn:

• How community events are helping participants find the right supports
• Why networking matters more than ever in the NDIS and aged care sectors
• How providers can build real connections (not just collect business cards)
• The power of community-led events across Australia
• What’s next for Disability Events Community and Aged Care Events Community

The Disability Events Community (DEC) connects people living with disability, families, carers, and professionals with local, quality supports and services through accessible community expos across Australia.

The Aged Care Events Community (ACEC) focuses on helping older Australians and their families connect with supports, services, and information in their local communities through smaller, more meaningful events.

This conversation is packed with insights on community, connection, networking, and building meaningful relationships in the disability and aged care space.
