Message from Rhys
Welcome to the latest edition of
Touchstone! Amongst the latest NDIS
information, client and staff profiles and
interview with author Karen Tyrell, you’ll
also find information about the upcoming
Live Large Festival in Brisbane. It will be
on the 15 th and 16 th April, across the Easter
long weekend.
CPL are one of the major event sponsors
for Live Large, alongside Treasury Brisbane
because at CPL, we’re passionate about
creating an inclusive society for all people.
We believe everyone should be able to
enjoy their community, so this festival will
be a fully accessible and inclusive event
designed for people of all abilities.
Live Large will feature a packed main stage
with entertainment, a collection of market
and food stalls as well as activities for kids,
teens and adults. I hope to see you there.
Enjoy this latest edition
of Touchstone! And
remember, if you ever
