There are some important changes to our normal operating hours this festive season.

NDIS office hours

NDIS offices will be closed from 4.30pm Friday 24 December 2021 and will re-open on Tuesday 4 January 2022.

We are aware participants may have questions or need help during the festive season so the NDIS Contact Centre will continue to operate to assist with urgent enquiries with the hours of 8am-8pm (local time) Monday to Friday, including public holidays that fall on a week day.  

If you have any questions or feel you may need support from your local office during the festive season, please contact them in advance. 

If you call your local office, or the Agency during the this time, the phone will either divert to the NDIS Contact Centre 1800 number or provide you with an alternative point of contact.

If you require urgent assistance outside of these times please call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Triple Zero. 

Partner office hours

Some of our partner offices will be closed during the festive period.

You can check the partner office hours in your area.
