SUPPORTING OUR MOST VULNERABLE: Member for Riverina Michael McCormack in Canberra last week with Parkes School students while pushing his support for the new disability gateway.
McCormack Welcomes Dedicated National Referral And Support Service For People With Disability: Federal Member for Riverina Michael McCormack is urging those with a disability in the Riverina and Central West to take advantage of a new national referral and support service. Mr McCormack said the dedicated one-stop service would provide advice and up-to-date information.
“This is an important service for those with a disability, as well as their loved ones, across the Riverina and Central West,” Mr McCormack said.
The Disability Gateway can assist with a range of support, from locating advocacy services, finding a sporting team that meets the needs of a person’s disability or identifying local disability-related events.
It is available at www.disabilitygateway.gov.au or by calling 1800 643 787 Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm AEST.
