To further support the disability community, we offer The NDIS Explained podcast, created in partnership with Ability Care Consulting. This podcast is provided for free and aims to help you understand the NDIS better. We believe that having the right information is key to making the NDIS work for you.
Through the podcast, we cover topics such as your rights, the supports available to you, and tips for navigating the NDIS system with confidence. We want you to feel informed and empowered, so you can make the best choices for yourself.
We also believe that friends and family play a crucial role in supporting people with disabilities. That’s why we encourage them to listen too! When your support network is knowledgeable, they can better advocate for you and help you access the resources you need.
