Dear <<First Name>>
Happy New Year, and welcome back!
Community organisations across Australia such as Intereach, are helping to deliver the NDIS. Partnerships help provide local knowledge and experience in delivering the NDIS.
As an NDIS participant, family member, carer or community member, you may work with a Local Area Coordinator to get ready for the NDIS, develop your plan and put it into action.
To find out more about the role of NDIS partners visit the NDIS website.
Since the last newsletter.....
- We have hosted Community Information Sessions for around 700 people across the Loddon Area.
- Intereach staff have been getting out and about with the Information Van and visiting Heathcote, Bendigo, Boort, Maryborough, Castlemaine, Kyabram and Romsey. They have been talking to a wide range of people about the NDIS and how it will affect them.
- Ongoing recruiting of the LAC workforce is underway, and
- The Bendigo and Kyneton offices are being prepared for opening.
