About this event

Since 2020, the Assessment and Referral Team (ART) has supported over 3,000 Queenslanders with disability to access the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

ART is now sharing learnings from this work to help further build the capacity of government and non-government workers across Queensland.

Join us to find out how you can support your clients with disability to access the NDIS.

These capacity building sessions are designed to share our insights into NDIS access related processes and requirements and will cover:

  • Neurological impairment
  • Hearing impairment
