There will be 63 providers at the event, about 10 more than last year, spokeswoman Danielle Northey said - including quite a few new ones along with "the regulars".

She said exhibitors set to be "a bit more prominent this year" were businesses that offered supported holidays for people with a disability.

Committee member Kate Brown said this was due to events such as the expo responding to changes in the sector.

"Awareness is continuously growing about the NDIS - what's available, how to use that funding," she said.

Spokeswoman Lorraine Legge said the expo was "a one-stop shop of services" for rural and regional people.

"It is a great opportunity for families to get more information about the products and services that they can access," she said.

"This event is for people with disabilities and ongoing medical conditions, their families, carers, support network and service providers.

"There will be information and advice on early intervention services, carer support, advocacy, accommodation, training and education, employment, post-school options, equipment, adaptive technology and the NDIS."

Happy Booth photos will be free for people who want a fun memento of the day, and sports dome staff will also offer wheelchair sports such as basketball and table tennis on the show court for chair users as well as able-bodied people.

Although the exhibitors are all equipped to help people with disabilities and their families, they will not all be disability-specific, and include Fair Trading, Meal on Wheels, Centrelink and TAFE.
