“My name is Nobuo Hara, and I am here from Richmond wellbeing.
We have an upcoming training and information session about how to apply for the NDIS if you have a psychosocial disability. A psychosocial disability can include things like depression, anxiety and other serious mental health issues.
This can be brought on by isolation within the deaf community.
We are here to provide assistance in filling out your applications. This can help receive funding from the NDIS in relation to your psychosocial disability.
It can be difficult to go through this process and be gather the evidence you need to fill out an application. There can be lot of paperwork involved and it can be quite lengthy.
I will be presenting this workshop in Auslan and I will be educating you on how to go through this process. I will be information you on how to fill out the forms appropriately and how to gather any evidence that you might need.
If you are interested and would like to come along, you are more than welcome.”
