Presenter:

Hi. I’m Stuart.
Today, I’ll be taking you through what you’ll find on the Disability Gateway ‘About us’ page.

Title graphic: About us.

The Disability Gateway is an Australian Government initiative. It is a central point of entry for referrals to disability information, services and programs and includes a mix of sectors such as health, housing, employment, transport and everyday living.

It's for all people with disability, their families, and carers to help them navigate and access relevant information and services. If you have feedback about the Disability Gateway, you can provide it via the feedback link on this website.
