In October 2013 self advocacy group members attended a forum and decided to set up the Victorian Self Advocacy Network or VSAN. At the forum they also decided to set up a start-up committee to begin doing all of the work needed to set up the VSAN. The members of the VSAN committee are Colin Hiscoe (Reinforce), Susan Arthur (Powerful Parents Self Advocacy Group), Luke Nelson (VALID), and Christian Astorian (Diversity and Disability). The committee has been working hard to get the VSAN up and running. They also helped organise the official launch of the Victorian Self Advocacy Network on the 19th of November 2013.
