On Thursday, October 27, ConnectGV held an Open Day for current and prospective NDIS participants, families and support co-ordinators.
    
                  
                                                                                                                                                                                                     
                                
                                                                    
                              
        The day saw multiple activities, tours and information sessions take place across both its Bowenhall St campus and its Billabong Garden Complex.
    
                  
                                                                
                  
                  
                                                                                                                                                                                        
                                            
                              
        Visitors also enjoyed a barbecue lunch at the Bowenhall St campus and a tour of ConnectGV’s facilities.
    
                  
                                                                                                                                                                                    
                              
        Tours of the café and retail and garden areas were available at the Billabong Garden Complex alongside an afternoon tea.
