A mild intellectual disability hasn’t stopped Ballarat NDIS participant, Courtney McLelland from finding work. Now, with the help of APM Employment Services, she’s conducting weekend tours at Ballarat’s Botanical Gardens.
Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Senator the Hon Linda Reynolds CSC today announced an expansion of financial payments available to providers supporting NDIS participants to attend COVID-19 vaccination appointments.
The NSW Government has extended the deadline for disability workers aged 16 years and over who live or work in a local government area (LGA) of concern to receive at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine to attend work.
NDIS participants who are yet to have their COVID-19 vaccine are encouraged to do so as soon as possible. A COVID-19 vaccine will help to protect you, your family and people you care for.
Eligible NDIS providers, with workers who live or work within 12 Sydney local government areas, can now claim a payment to support their disability workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
On International Women’s Day 2021, the NDIA acknowledges the achievements and contributions of all women, as well as the vital role of women in delivering the Scheme, supporting Australians with disability to live their best lives.
