Our Quality team runs regular online forums for DSS funded providers of disability support services, to keep them updated on quality-related topics.

About the forums
Topics covered in the 60-minute forums will be of varied interest to different provider service types and care settings.
The forums will be open to all providers.
We’ll co-host some forums with other organisations, e.g. Te Tāhū Hauora Health Quality and Safety Commission.
For each upcoming forum we’ll let you know:
- When it will be held
- Who should attend
- What we’ll cover
- How to register.
All provider forums will be recorded. The recordings will be available on our Previous forums page.
