Muscular Dystrophy Queensland

With the NDIS Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Act passed, many participants and families tell us they're wondering what comes next.

To help make sense of the changes, our Support Coordination team and GM of Community Services will present two free online information sessions next Wednesday, 9th September, at 10am and 6pm.

The team will share the latest information available and provide an overview of the changes, key rollout timelines, and what these developments may mean for our community.

While some aspects of the changes are still evolving, we'll share what we know so far, talk through the information currently available, and answer your questions where we can.

Both sessions will cover the same information and include a Q&A session.
