NDIS & Disability Liaison Officer

We can help people during the COVID-19 pandemic by providing assistance to access:

• Testing and treatment for COVID-19
• Usual health and medical services
• Other services such as the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) or accommodation services
• Support for all people with a disability, especially Aboriginal and LGBTQI people with a disability

We work with the health care teams to provide safer, accessible and more inclusive care during their hospital stay and outpatient clinic appointments.
