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.  

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."

"After 2 years of no expos, we were ready to get back into it and make a bang at the Melbourne Disability Expo, and it did not disappoint! The booth size and location as Platinum Sponsors was fantastic, the extras that come with it allowed Simply Helping to be positioned perfectly for the lead up to, and during, the event. We met so many incredible people from the public and other organisations; overall it was an amazing event to be involved with!"

"I attended the Hunter, Sydney and Canberra Disability Expo's on behalf of the Hireup team and would like to thank the Impact Institute team for their hard work in making all three expo's a great success! As a national platform, we've loved the opportunity to connect with our existing community in Canberra and the Newcastle area, whilst also building a broader awareness within the disability community of the work Hireup is doing. Hireup were Gold Sponsors of all three expo's, and this has been incredibly worthwhile to increase Hireup's brand awareness and have a great area at the expo to speak with new potential participants, support workers and industry contacts. Thank you to the Impact Institute team for the opportunity to exhibit. All expo's were well organised, important information was communicated timely and the team were always responsive to any questions we had."

"...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 are looking forward to the other Expos we’ve booked in to for 2021, and we will be delighted to return to the Hunter Expo next time it is run."

“We held our first exhibition on the Gold Coast in July 2021 which was hosted by Impact Institute. Although there were some reservations being the first exhibition we had been involved with post covid, it was well managed, and all ran smoothly. The Gold Coast Disability Expo has helped Lifestyle Mentor Services become more recognised within our community, our brand and logo is more recognised and related to, and we have successfully linked in and positively connected to other organisations within the community. We have had great contacts established with other service providers, plan managers, other support workers, and providers of therapies to name but a few. It has certainly helped grow our business and helped us to refer some clients to other service providers too. We are looking forward to our next Exhibition in Brisbane.

Thank you impact institute for the exceptional organisation around this event and the ease of which your wonderful team made it all happen… we will be back even bigger in 2023!"
