Hi everyone,

Just a reminder that my days have changed - I am now here every Monday and Thursday from 8am - 4pm.

The following is from the July 25 NDIS Newsletter:

Improving digital security

We are connecting the my NDIS app to myGov. This improves how we check the identities of people accessing the app and protect participant plans and personal information. All participants, nominees and child representatives who use the my NDIS app will need to connect a myGov account. You can do this by following the prompts in the my NDIS app and will only need to do this once.

To connect the my NDIS app to your myGov account, you need to enter your myGov username or email and password.

You can follow steps in the my NDIS app to register and connect to myGov if you are signing into the app for the first time.

For more information on how to connect the my NDIS app to your myGov account, visit https://www.ndis.gov.au/participants/using-your-plan/managing-your-plan/my-ndis-mobile-app/signing-app
