How can Clubhouse help you with the transition to NDIS? 

Stepping Stone can assist our members with:

• The NDIS application process.

• Preparing you for your NDIS planning meeting.

• Accompanying you to your NDIS planning meeting.

• Providing support to you through your NDIS plan.

We are also holding weekly information sessions, house meetings and assistance to access free community NDIS forums and workshops. Additionally, we know that change can be confusing, and there is a lot of information to take in.  If you have unanswered questions, simply contact us here and we will be in touch.
