Afternoon all! See below details of an information session about Emergency Preparedness, which is being held this Thursday at the Woodend Neighbourhood House.

Evacuating in an emergency can look vastly different for someone living with a disability or chronic health condition.

In the lead up to Summer, now is the time to think about planning for emergencies.

In session 4 of the free Get Started Disability Support Workshop Series, we will look at what you can do to ensure you don't get caught out, or stuck with no where to go and no way to get there.

Thursday the 25th of September 11am-1pm. 47 Forest St Woodend Neighbourhood House.

It's free, lunch is included...so yep, you know you should come. Register here, or just drop in.

✨5 Documents You Actually Need for Your NDIS Application✨

Before you begin your NDIS application, you'll need some documents to prove your identity, residency, and disability.

✅Your proof of age document can be your driver's license, your birth certificate, or a passport.
✅For the proof of residency, provide your Australian birth certificate, a citizenship certificate or a valid visa.
✅Now, you must provide evidence of your disability with medical reports and/or assessments from registered health professionals. These assessments must outline how you are impacted in areas such as daily life, social interactions, and ability to work or study.
✅Next up is filling out your Access Request Form (ARF): This is the main form you'll need to complete to apply for the NDIS.
✅Another form you may require is a Supporting Evidence Form (SEF): This form can be used to provide further evidence to support your application if needed.

If you are unsure about any part of the application process, contact the NDIS directly or seek assistance from a Local Area Coordinator (LAC).
