Service overview

If you’re eligible for the NDIS or already receiving support, we can help you to understand the system and your rights.

Program Information
How we can support you with the NDIS
You may like support to make sure you’re getting the assistance you need. We can help if you’re having trouble accessing support, or do not agree with an access or funding decision. You may like us to advocate on your behalf or help as you advocate for yourself.
Who we can support
The service is for people in South Australia. If you live in a rural or remote region we are able to speak with you over the phone, via email or over video conference, such as Zoom.

Our team

This service is run by the Uniting Communities Law Centre, which is separate to the NDIS services provided by Uniting Communities.

Our team of legal staff work alongside disability advocates, social workers, developmental educators, and speech and language pathologists.
