Registration of Interest Policy

Disability ACT funds services and individuals in a way intended to best meet the needs of the person with a disability, within the resources available and within the eligibility criteria as defined by our funding agreements with the ACT Government and the Australian Government.

These agreements do not include the expectation that all disability needs will be met. They do contain the expectation that Disability ACT will make the best use of all available resources and determine priorities in a fair and equitable way.
