National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Service Available for People with Disability Who Are Not NDIS Participants

Community Connections is a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) service available to people with disability aged 9-64, and their families. There is no need to apply to the NDIS to get this service – both people with disability and NDIS participants can access it through NDIS local area coordinators, to get help accessing community supports. Local area coordinators can also help people with disability apply for the NDIS and start their plan.
