First Job at a Hotel - Porter and Office

This is an important message from the Migrant Resource Centre Tasmania about help for people with disabilities.

In the past it was common for people with disability to stay at home and not get to do things or go into the community.

In Australia people with disability have the right to get support so they can participate in the activities of every day life. And to participate in the community as well.

For example, education, recreation, community and cultural events.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme, or NDIS, helps people under the age of 65 years old with a permanent and significant disability.

Permanent means the disability will not go away.

Significant means the disability affects the things people need and want to do every day.

People with an NDIS plan will get supports and services they need to participate in every day life.

For more information you can phone Migrant Resource Centre Tasmania on 03 6221 0999. To use an interpreter, call 131 450 first.

Or you can visit us by dropping in on any Monday between 10:00 am – 3:00 pm at the Migrant Resource Centre Tasmania office at 1a Anfield Street, Glenorchy.

Maybe your family doesn’t need this information, but maybe you can share it with a family who might find it helpful.

Please share this message so that everyone is included in the life of the community. Thank you.
