NDIS - National Disability Insurance Scheme
MULTICAP, NDIS AND SHARING THE JOURNEY WITH YOU
We understand that change can be overwhelming, particularly when it involves finances or services that you rely on, and the NDIS roll out is no different.
Multicap will be here to help you through this transitional period, to navigate the changes, and to walk side by side with you on your journey. We are here for you, in all ways and always.
Our staff have proudly provided services to people with disability for decades, and will continue to do so under the NDIS as an NDIS service provider. We are excited to tailor our services to your needs, and ensure even better outcomes for you.
If you would like more information about the NDIS, please download our fact sheets below.

The Disability Reform Council
The Disability Reform Council (DRC) has released the NDIS Quality and Safeguarding Framework, a nationally-consistent approach to quality and safeguarding for NDIS participants.
The following principles underpin the framework:
• Human rights – The Framework is intended to uphold and respect the rights of people with disability
• The presumption of capacity to exercise choice and control – That all people with disability have the capacity to make decisions and exercise choice and control
• National consistency – Regardless of postcode, participants can expect the same level of protection
• Proportionality and risk responsiveness – The level of regulation will reflect the risk of harm
• Efficiency and effectiveness – The framework will assist the development of an efficient and effective NDIS market”
Getting on the NDIS Grid
The Queenslanders with Disability Network (QDN) and a group of organisations are working together on the Getting on the NDIS Grid project. The project works with people who may experience additional challenges engaging with the NDIS so they are supported to understand the NDIS, check their eligibility and understand how to access the scheme.
The project is for people who currently do not receive disability support services and who are:
• transient, in supported accommodation, living in caravan parks and/or experiencing housing challenges
• homeless, or at risk of homelessness
• exiting the child safety, criminal justice and juvenile justice systems
• From lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and/or intersex communities
The project covers the South East region of Queensland - the Fraser Coast, Burnett regions, Sunshine Coast. Moreton Bay, Brisbane, Redlands and Gold Coast areas.

NDIS - Customer and Family Information Sessions
Multicap invites anyone interested in attending our information sessions to come along and ask questions about NDIS, and how Multicap can support you throughout your transition.
Brisbane (not including Moreton Bay Region)
Multicap has not planned any further Customer and Family Information Sessions for the Brisbane region as the NDIS has now rolled out in Brisbane.
The NDIS is expected to rollout in the Sunshine Coast, Gympie and Moreton Bay Region in January 2019 and we are still offering Customer and Family Information Sessions for these regions. Dates and times for the sessions will be provided shortly. If you have any questions in the meantime, please contact 1300 135 886.
