Delivered in partnership with the Ethnic Communities Council of Victoria and the Department of Health and Human Services, the sessions will discuss how the NDIS works, the kind of support available and how to access it.

AWECC community advocacy officer Lucie Wallis said all community members were welcome and transport was available if required.

“These are the first sessions in language,” she said.

“There has been a really good response.

“The people that go that have that information, it’s then more easily passed on to other members of the community.

Ms Wallis said AWECC worked to ensure equity in accessing services for those who might have language as a barrier.

“That’s why sessions like these are so important,” she said.

“We are so thankful that organisations like ECCV are committed to enabling rural and regional communities in Victoria as well as metropolitan Melbourne.”
