COVID-19 vaccines are voluntary and you can decide whether you want to be vaccinated or not.
If a disability service provider or support worker refuses to continue providing supports to you because you decided not to get the COVID-19 vaccine, it could be a breach of the NDIS Code of Conduct.
If this happens, you can make a complaint to the NDIS Commission.
For more information, you can:
- visit the Department of Health website
- call the Disability Gateway Helpline on 1800 643 787
- visit the Disability Gateway website
- call the National Coronavirus Helpline on 1800 020 080
If you are deaf, or have a hearing or speech impairment, you can also call the National Relay Service on 133 677.
Australian Government, state and territory government helplines will also have information on how people with disability can access the vaccine.
Note: The National Coronavirus Helpline and Easy Vaccine Access service are no longer in service.
