Australians continue to work hard to flatten the curve to protect those most vulnerable to experiencing poor physical and mental health outcomes related to COVID-19. Importantly, this has bought us critical time to undertake national pandemic planning and implementation, identify those most at risk, and respond accordingly.

This recorded webinar is available to all disability service providers and health care providers across Australia. NDS thanks the Queensland Government for their continued financial support.
