The Barossa Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) Seminar, scheduled for Friday, 23rd August 2024, will provide essential information about SDA in the Barossa Valley and surrounding districts. The event will feature guest speaker Greg Barry, CEO and Founder of SDA Services, as well as Taryn Thompson from Your Home SDA & Disability Housing Pathways, William Fryer from New Dawn Housing, and Barbara Lightburn from My Ability Pathway.
