Parents & Carers

As well as supporting people with disabilities and their families, we believe in developing opportunities for parents and carers to ensure their lives, as well as the lives of those they care for and their immediate families, are enriched. We do this through assisting parents and carers to participate in their local community, foster relationships that strengthen informal networks provide information and support to plan for their future through key stages of life.

1. Caring for the Carer

To overcome some of the barriers that are associated with caring for a family member with a disability, Interchange Illawarra believes in providing holistic support to parents and carers.

2. Workshops & Information

We can provide one-on-one support to parents & carers to assist with the development of visual aids to support communication with the person you care for.

3. We Value Your Feedback

Your feedback, as well as ideas and suggestions for different activities is very much appreciated.

The National Contact Centre (NCC) is calling people who self-manage their plan, and are entitled to a transport payment, to check they have the correct bank account details, email address, and date of birth.

If a participant is entitled to a transport payment, they must lodge the request in the myplace participant portal, so the Agency can reimburse the nominated bank account. The Agency does not have up-to-date details for many of these participants, so they are unable to process the payments.

We suggest that if you receive a phone call requesting these details, call them back on 1800 800 110 and share those details safely knowing you are speaking to the NDIS. You can also request that you update your details via email, instead of by phone.

There are so many scams about it’s never a good idea to tell anyone your personal details without confirming they are who they say they are!!

When comics are life!

Check out the Comicverse Facebook page where you’ll find some fantastic artwork by a talented, 16 year old, young man named Will.

Will’s comic series has been published and made available for purchase! In fact, it’s been so successful, Season 3 is coming later this year.

Congratulations Will, we love your sense of humour and can’t wait to see what else you’ve got in store for us all 🙂
