Additional help line for disability

It will be very helpful to families, carers and the individual with a disability to connect with different support system available in the community aside from the NDIS. These organizations can offer support by offering activities, resources, and safe places wherein they can gain more knowledge about the condition, what to do about it, how to deal with it, share their sentiments and concerns in a safe and non-judgemental environment. This article will discuss other support resources which families, carers, and individuals with disabilities can access outside the NDIS :
