Join us for a webinar about Foundational Supports.

Governments are working together to design and deliver additional supports in the community. These are known as Foundational Supports.

Foundational Supports are specific supports that would be outside the NDIS to help people with disability, and their families and carers.

This webinar is an opportunity to find out more about:

The different types of Foundational Supports.
Upcoming opportunities to contribute to the national public consultations on Foundational Supports.

Feedback received through these engagement activities will inform thinking on the design of Foundational Supports.

The Department of Social Services is leading the consultations. For more information about Foundational Supports, please contact foundational.supports@dss.gov.au.
