DEN is a cross-sectoral forum of staff from schools, Vocational Education and Training, and universities responsible for supporting students with a disability, or chronic illness, throughout their studies. Quarterly meetings are held each school term in the Hunter Region and a listserver, 'den-list', has been established to support the development of the Network and to facilitate communication between staff.

DEN has been established to support staff employed in the education sector who work directly with students, or have an interest in disability issues, and who are located in the Hunter, Central Coast, Taree and Tamworth areas. Yearly satellite DEN meetings will be organised for the Central Coast, Taree, and Tamworth areas in addition to the quarterly Hunter meetings. There is no requirement to apply for DEN membership and there are no fees payable. All staff (or each school) automatically receive DEN Newsletters and ongoing information from the convenor of the Network.
