Requesting specialist support
What happens when I request support?
When you contact Disability Services to make your request, you will be referred to an intake officer.
The intake officer will ask some questions about you and your situation, and start to work out the best way that Disability Services can help.
This could be by:
- assisting you to strengthen support relationships with your family and community
- referring you to community services or support from other agencies
- organising for you to have an assessment for specialist disability services
- providing you with emergency and crisis support if necessary
How do I request support?
You can make your request in any of these ways:
By phone
Contact your local service centre and make your request over the phone with an intake officer. If you do not know which service centre is closest to you, call 13 QGOV (13 74 68) or Teletypewriter 1800 010 222 and a customer service adviser will help you.
In person
You can go in person to your local service centre. If you do not know which service centre is closest to you, call 13 QGOV (13 74 68) or Teletypewriter 1800 010 222 and a customer service adviser will help you.
