EDITED to correct info

The Christmas Party - register with your servers provider or school for the chance to secure an invitation. Confirmation is now electronic.

Entry criteria applies. Get in quick to register your interest with your provider/school! 🥳🎄

📣𝔸𝕡𝕡𝕝𝕚𝕔𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕤 𝕒𝕣𝕖 𝕟𝕠𝕨 𝕠𝕡𝕖𝕟📣

It’s that time of year when we have the absolute pleasure of announcing that applications for invitations to attend The Christmas Party Townsville on Saturday 6th of December are now open!

The hundreds of organisations, community and support groups, mainstream and specialist schools, charities and service providers who are registered with the Christmas Party have been issued detailed information inviting them to request invitations on behalf of the children they work with.

⭐️We have rolled out a new system this year, going digital, with entry to the event via a QR code that will be emailed to parents/carers. This new system will streamline our process, eliminating the need for invitations/wristbands to be posted, no longer causing stress if a wristband is misplaced, allowing the application process to stay open a little longer, and the ability to reissue invites quicker should a child no longer be able to attend.

Please get in contact with your child’s / children’s service providers/school and register your interest to attend. In order for the school/service provider to apply on your behalf they will require some basic contact information.

📌A request for invitations must be submitted on your behalf via the official channels and cannot be done directly through our office or Facebook.

Excellent tips from The Growing The Growing Space on how to increase the chances that NDIS receives your paperwork.

⁉️ 📄 Did the NDIS actually get my email? Did they get my reports? 🤔
📍 Tips for sending documents to the NDIS (email or post) so they don’t end up in a black hole!

1. 💡 Always keep a copy of all documents you send for your records (you can send the email to yourself!).

2. 👤Put your full name and NDIS Number in the header of your email.

3. ✅Put your full name and NDIS Number in the body of the email as well.

4. 📄And, put your full name and NDIS Number on every page you send.

5. 🚨Make sure every document you send has page numbers on every page.

6. 🔢Put a numbered list of every document you attach, in the body of the email.

7. 🔽Try to make the documents you attach smaller – you can do this in “options” or “settings” when you save the document. Look for “Low resolution”, or “Reduce file size” options.

8. 📝 Always check you have sent everything the NDIS asked for.

9. 📧 You can send documents by email.

10. ❗ Use the email address the NDIS gave you.

11. 📞 🚨 If you are not sure how to send documents, call the NDIS on 1800 800 100 for help.

12. 💬 You might want to use the online chat or send a message online https://www.ndis.gov.au/contact
