Queenslanders with Disability Network (QDN) is undertaking a yearlong project to support people with disability at different steps along their NDIS journey. The Peer to Peer Advocacy Project is a free service for people who need support with NDIS access or planning, including: understanding the steps and what is required, contacting the NDIS to make an access request, filling out access request forms, what they need from GPs or allied health professionals, support with pre-planning to think about what their needs are and goals for their life, support at a planning meeting. It can also assist if people need support or peer advocacy with challenges they are experiencing as they move along the NDIS pathway. The areas that the project is working in includes Brisbane, Logan and Redlands, Gold Coast, Moreton Bay, Sunshine Coast, and can provide remote support via phone or Skype to other areas across Queensland. To access the service, contact QDN on (07) 3252 8566 or 1300 363 783 or email qdn@qdn.org.au or view the flyer for more details.
