Disability

Council is committed to making sure that all people who live in and visit Eurobodalla have fair and equal access to facilities, services and support.

We advocate on behalf of people with disability by:

sharing information about services, useful contacts and resources for people with disability and their carers through the Disability Services Guide.
promoting disability awareness across the region.
recognising inclusive businesses with our annual Good Access means Good Business award.

We also provide not-for-profit NDIS services to residents and people visiting our region. Read more about Council's NDIS Services. Please fill out the NDIS request for services form below to access Council services:

Additional fee

Council’s Community Care is a provider of choice for people with disability and is contracted by state and federal governments to provide services for older people. Programs can be chosen by individuals as one-off services or clients choose to have staff coordinate a range of supports for them via programs such as NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) or Aged Care Services. Clients or community members can directly pay Council a ‘fee for service’ for a range of services or they can top up their ‘package’ of services. Service fees are currently adopted as part of council’s fees and charges with this new fee requiring exhibition and feedback for Council to consider adoption of the fee.

The fee is not limited by eligibility and is also available to be provided to other local providers who may wish to broker Council’s services for their clients. To enable the inclusion of the fee in Council’s Fees and Charges for 2018/19, the fee will be required to be put on exhibition in accordance with the Local Government Act 1993.

The new fee is for overnight in-home support (sleepover) $195 per night inc. GST.

Council must give public notice of the new fee of at least 28 days and consider any submissions made during that period.

The public are invited to make comment on the proposal and submissions should be addressed to the General Manager, Eurobodalla Shire Council, PO Box 99, Moruya, NSW 2537 or email Council by Wednesday 17 October 2018.
