NDIS access capacity building for Child Safety and Youth Justice workers

*PLEASE NOTE: This session is specifically tailored for Child Safety and Youth Justice workers.

Since 2020, the Assessment and Referral Team (ART) has supported over 4,400 at risk Queenslanders with disability to access the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
