In this Vision Australia Radio podcast, presenter Peter Greco is joined by the federal minister for Families and Social Services Senator the Hon Anne Ruston to discuss the roll out of the new Disability Information Helpline.

Do you have a question about coronavirus (COVID-19)? Do you need help because things have changed? You can contact the Disability Information Helpline to talk about your concerns in relation to coronavirus (COVID-19), for example if: 

your support worker has not turned up

your provider has stopped services

it’s hard for you to get food, groceries, medications or other essential items

someone close to you has symptoms of coronavirus

you are feeling really upset

anything else is worrying you.

To contact the Disability Information Helpline, call 1800 643 787.

The Helpline is available Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm (AEST) and Saturday and Sunday 9am to 7pm (AEST). It’s not available on national public holidays.
