NDIS- Local Area Coordinator Information Session – Carer Q&A

Carers are encouraged to bring their questions and LAC staff will guide the discussion, provide clarity, and share helpful resources.

Are you supporting someone who may need access to the NDIS? Do you have questions about eligibility, evidence, or what happens once an application is submitted?

This free, carer‑focused session is designed to give you clear, practical answers in a relaxed environment — with insights directly from the Local Area Coordinators (LACs) from IWC Bundaberg.
