Disability inclusion

Social Futures is your National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) partner.

We support people with disability to access the NDIS and provide local area coordination (LAC) support coordination services throughout regional NSW.

We are passionate about supporting people with disability to live life the way they want to, and creating positive social change, not only for individuals, but for society as a whole.

We work with communities, schools and workplaces to promote inclusion for people with disability and additional needs. Because everybody has a right to feel included and welcomed in our communities.

If you would like to learn more about our disability support services in NSW, accessing the NDIS or to read about any of our other support coordination services and inclusive programs, follow the below links to the individual program pages.

You can also call our LAC Hotline Monday – Friday 8:30-4:30pm on 1800 522 679 or email us at [email protected]
