Disability Gateway: A National Service Linking Australians to Disability Support

The Disability Gateway is a free, Australian government national service connecting people with disability, their families, and carers to trusted information and services. Disability Gateway is a central point of entry for providing information and referrals to disability supports and services in your local area.    

Disability Gateway assists with information and referrals in employment, income and finance, transport, housing, education, rights and legal, health and wellbeing and more. 

The Disability Gateway phone-line team provide one-on-one personalised support and research over the phone. They take the necessary steps to ensure that all the information they provide is accurate, so that you receive validated information and referrals to the services and programs you need. Disability Gateway is for all Australians with disability, regardless of whether they have a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plan or Australian Citizenship, and is available to all providers, and professionals who work with people with disability.
