NDIS Navigator

Libby Anderson 

Hi everyone,

Welcome back to a new school year! 

Linda and I are enjoying our wonderful new office in the new admin building. 

Come and drop in!!

I am working Mondays and Thursdays and if you would like to chat about your child's NDIS plan, reassessment, budget, support to contact your LAC or support to find services, (there are a number of companies that are taking on new clients at the moment, so if you are still on a waitlist for therapy, please come and see me or give me a call - 9725 49 33).

 

The Department of Education now has access to a telephone interpreter service that parents can access when calling the school:
