COVID-19 Safer and Stronger Project
NDS’s Victorian Safer and Stronger COVID-19 project, funded by DHHS, aims to:
- provide practical information and support on infection control and business continuity;
- enable disability service providers to effectively respond to COVID-19 and emerge as stronger organisations delivering high quality services to people with disability.
Phase One of the project is focused on providing accurate and timely advice to disability services about COVID-19 restrictions and government guidance and making available useful resources and links. See our upcoming webinars and recorded webinars and resources.
NDS is keenly monitoring the issues and challenges facing disability services, and contributing to efforts to develop effective responses. The Questions and Answers addresses some of the many questions arising for services.
Phase Two of the project will support organisations to adjust and ‘reset’ to the new environment so as to meet ongoing infection control requirements, the NDIS pricing framework and quality standards, and changing participant demands whilst maintaining business sustainability.
