NATIONAL ADVISORY GROUP
Background
The concept of a National Advisory Group (NAG) on Independent Living came about towards the end of 2003. The ultimate aim of NAG is to ensure the support and resource needs of people with disabilities are met, through a process of equal and mutual participation with other relevant groups and agencies so that real change happens.
Strategic Goals of NAG
- Promote the philosophy of Independent Living by learning, practicing and sharing
