About the event
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is the biggest revolution in Australia in providing disability services. The NDIS offers opportunities to help you reach your life goals.
At the heart of the NDIS is the ability for you as an individual with individual needs to choose services relevant to you as well as decide who you want to provide them.
At Guide Dogs SA/NT we can deliver a range of services and supports tailored to meet your needs – we are #more than dogs.
As with most things in life, good planning is the key to good outcomes. The NDIS is new, large and can present challenges in navigating the system.
If you or a loved one has a vision or hearing loss or a young child with autism, our friendly staff are ready to join you on the NDIS journey. Our NDIS savvy team understands the system and the opportunities.
We’re at the following Expos so you can meet us and chat about your needs. The free community information expos are open for people with disability, family and disability support workers as well as people interested in working in the disability sector. There will be NDIS presentations from the Government of South Australia at 4 pm and 7 pm with provider stalls staffed throughout the Expo.
If you can’t make it to the Expos, our Support Line 1800 757 738 is ready to take your call, or email ndis@guidedogs.org.au. More information: www.guidedogs.org.au/my-ndis.
