Many people who should be receiving support under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) are missing out. Navigating the intricacies of the NDIS can be a challenge for healthcare professionals. Don’t worry though, we’re here to help make it a little easier.
What to expect

You’ll gain insight into different NDIS journeys, discover who can and cannot access the NDIS, and learn about a range of practical resources to help in your efforts to support clients and patients. An open forum discussion provides a great opportunity to ask questions on navigating the NDIS.
