Our Purpose

We exist to enable each person we support to live a connected and meaningful life.

Your NDIS Plan

Thinking about what needs to be in your NDIS plan?

My Plan, is a tool that Mercy Connect has developed to help you decide what is important in your life.
It helps you think about how you would like to live your life and what you would like to be doing.
So you can create the best NDIS plan for your needs.

Your NDIS Package

Your dreams, your expectations!

What are they? And how can we help you get the most out of your NDIS package to get what you want?

We are here to empower you to get the most out of life.

So if you have an NDIS package or are expecting one, we can help you plan and find the best services for how you want to live.

Advocacy

Advocacy is about your voice being your heard. People with a disability have the same rights (and responsibilities) as people who do not have a disability. Advocates are there to ensure that people with a disability realise these rights in practice by advocating with and for them.

An advocate can help you:

when you want to change things in your life
when you need help to talk to someone about your service
when you are not being listened to

Advocates can assist by:

providing information to people with a disability about their human rights and identifying instances of discrimination
assisting people with a disability to uphold their rights by speaking with and writing to people and organisations to raise awareness of problems and seek solutions
helping people with disability negotiate complaints processes or legal action to enforce their human rights
writing submissions and lobbying government to make changes that promote and protect the rights of people with disability
campaigning for social change by speaking to the media to raise awarness and highlight situations where people with a disability are treated unfairly

Our local advocate is: Regional Disability Advocacy Service (RDAS)

RDAS is a local not-for-profit organisation that provide free and independent advocacy and information. They can assist you by finding services that meet your needs and link you into services of your choice.

You can ask for help:

by calling them on 02 6056 2420
emailing them admin@rdas.org.au
visiting them at 132 Melbourne Road, Wodonga, 3690, VIC
sending them a letter P.O Box 982, Wodonga, 2690, VIC

More information can be found on the RDAS website.
