NDIS & Disability Support

The PAMS NDIS Program provides culturally safe support for Aboriginal people living with disability across remote and rural communities. Through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), our team helps individuals, families and carers understand, access and navigate available supports, ensuring participants receive the services they need to improve their independence, wellbeing and quality of life.

Whether you are applying for the NDIS for the first time, need assistance gathering supporting evidence, require help understanding your plan, or need support connecting with service providers, our team can guide you through every stage of the NDIS journey.

Services are delivered through local staff, Remote Community Connectors and outreach support across remote communities, helping people access disability services and resources closer to home while receiving ongoing guidance and advocacy throughout their NDIS journey.
