The lived experience people gave insightful and interesting perspectives on the various systemic and economic barriers that they've faced
​
I found everything about the forum useful. It was just the right amount of every category. Nothing went too long, it was relaxed informative and people seemed to also have fun. I know I did. The food was good too.
​
I have already done a referral to one of the services I met on the day
​
I found the forum extremely valuable and received a lot of insightful information from workers, the lived experience people and I was able to collect informative brochures to read later and to share with my team.
​
​Great day, beautiful location, great food and wonderful speakers. Thank you for all the effort - it was a really valuable day.

Participant Feedback
Opportunity to re-connect with services. Finding out new information, programs, discussing similar challenges...
​
Informally connecting with people and building relationships with other people. This was great as some people I hadn't met face to face before.
​
Speaker Jacqui Gibson and the great information around lived experience workforce and how to better work with mental health
​
To talk and listen to a diversity of people , diversity of backgrounds, organisations, skills, insights..
The conversation around power of the 'lived experience' voice was great; Jacqueline's story, the posters around the wall.
Absolutely fantastic day, really appreciate the level of work that goes into this day and hope to see more in the future.

It was great, this was my first in-person meeting with external services since March 2019, so I found it all to be wonderful!

The Functional Zero approach to ending homelessness by George Hatvani, Launch Housing
Participant Feedback
Loved the speeches, networking, actually all of it can't just pick one
The Expo is great, particularly for new workers to the field, as it starts conversations leading to the asking of questions and gaining knowledge.
Really liked the evidence base functional zero approach and DHHS updates in terms of future directions
I will use the networks and contacts I've made to pool resources for clients to deliver better outcomes. I feel more confident in my practice knowing that I'm not alone and sharing the frustrations.
Very valuable expo and forum that I've attended in a while as it focused on Southern region so great networking and information sharing opportunities. The speed get to know you groups ... were really good, great ice breakers and I thought this helped also with the group sessions that people were networking even more so after forum

Thanks for the opportunity to attend, it was a well thought out structure with relevant topics.
​
Small group activities gave everyone the opportunity to discuss issues and possible solutions. also good for networking
​
The workshops were very inventive and worthwhile... I often see extremely valuable ideas put forward in summits but are never brought to fruition. It would be vital that these ideas can actually get rolled out.
​
Terrific to have networking opportunities. Always very valuable esp. in these times of huge sector change. Well done!!
​
Good Work, Keep asking the questions and lets find the answers together
