Linda's Letters

Family Support Coordinator

Hi Everyone, how are you?  I hope you are well and you enjoyed Mothers Day.

Parents & Carers Morning tea— The next Morning Tea will be on 23rd May 2025 from 9.00am to 10.15am with Guest Speakers Chrissy and Leonie from ACD—Advocating for Children with Disabilities (Previously known as Association for Children with Disabilities)

Did you know? - When your child with a disability turns 16 years of age, they are eligible to apply for the Disability Support Pension and the Pensioner Education Supplement from Centrelink.

Tax File Number— As part of the process for applying for Disability Support Pension, your child needs to have a Tax File Number (TFN) prior to submitting the claim. You can apply for a TFN at any stage, just fill in the form on line, submit it and then go to the post office with your child, the identity documents for you and your child. If you would like to know more about any of this information or assistance to apply for the payments or TFN, please contact me. Take care, Linda
