Understanding the NDIS Webinar Series: Community Connections

Community connections are all about helping you find the supports you need in your local community.

Community connections are available for people with disability aged 9 to 64, even if you’re not eligible for the NDIS. They are available to people with disability living in Australia regardless of their citizenship or visa status.

Community connections can support you to do what’s important to you. This can include getting supports you need to be more independent and do more of the things you enjoy in your local community. Being connected to your community can improve wellbeing and support your safety.

In this presentation, we will cover:

• What NDIA Community Connections are and how they can help.
• How to find practical information about your disability or condition.
• Ways to access support through mainstream and community services.
• How to connect with people who share similar experiences.

Support for applying to the NDIS, including help with submitting your access request.
