Contact Festive Information

NDIS office hours

NDIS offices will be closed from 4.30pm Thursday 24 December 2020 and will re-open on Monday 4 January 2021.

We are aware participants may have questions or need help during the festive season so the NDIS Contact Centre will continue to operate to assist with urgent enquiries. 

If you have any questions or feel you may need support from your local office during the festive season, please contact them in advance.

If you call your local office, or the Agency during the this time, the phone will either divert to the NDIS Contact Centre 1800 number or provide you with an alternative point of contact.

If you require urgent assistance outside of these times please call Triple Zero or Lifeline on 13 11 14.
