The University of Melbourne launches its Disability Institute this afternoon. Its executive director is Bruce Bonyhady, the founding chair of the NDIS.

“Through interdisciplinary research, teaching, partnerships with industry and collaborations with the sector, our aim is to be an integral part of a new and growing eco-system in Australia. We will foster the exchange of evidence and ideas that support the long-term vision of the National Disability Strategy and the NDIS, Professor Bonyhady says.
