Family

Family, carers and other informal supporters play a central role in supporting people living with disability to live a good life. Families may support a person to access good information, manage funding, provide daily care, transport and emotional and social support. Parents of children living with disability will be integral to the NDIS planning for their child. A person living with disability will benefit where that family and support is strong. 

The QuickGuide ideas in this section are designed to help start a conversation in your peer network about goal setting for parents of children living with disability and about the importance of looking after yourself.

The index to the left shows the current range of topics. Click on each one to read/download a QuickGuide. Some index items include links to video clips.

We expect the range and number of topics to grow. 

E-mail us if there are other topics you would like to see here, or if you would like to write a QuickGuide to go here.
