Launch of CID Connect
NSW CID e-news, June 2016
CID Connect is our new online forum where you can ask and answer questions about how the NDIS might affect you.
CID Connect is supported by members of our community engagement and information services team and allows anyone to log on for free and ask a question of the community as well as being able to browse around and see what other people have been discussing.
Every month we will have a new focus topic to help you be more prepared for the NDIS whether you are already on a funding package, are waiting for rollout or have no idea where to start.
Currently, our topics include planning, supports and getting to know each other.
We encourage you to jump online and try out this amazing new tool. Be the first to contribute to what will become an amazing source of knowledge.
