Northcott will celebrate the launch with a morning tea in Tamworth and chief executive officer Kerry Stubbs said the NDIS will be a significant gain for the whole community.
“I expect to see many more of our young customers studying, working and travelling in the future, and living like 20- and 30-year-olds,” she said.
“All of this is possible under the investment model of the NDIS – not immediately, but if we remain true to its principles.”
“It will be a significant gain, both for people with disability and for all of the community.”
The launch of the NDIS will begin at 10am on Friday, July 1 at the Northcott office at 147 Goonoo Goonoo Rd.
