I am looking for disability supports

If you live with a disability—or have a child or loved one living with a disability—there are many supports available to help you reach your goals and live the life you choose.

However, getting to them can be confusing.

As a partner in the community with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), Baptcare has Local Area Coordinators and Early Childhood Coordinators who can help you on your journey.

We can help you access disability support:

Local Area Coordination: a personal guide to help you access the right disability supports

If you are between 9 and 64 and live with a disability—or care for someone living with a disability—a Local Area Coordinator (also sometimes called a LAC) can support you to understand and navigate your journey through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
