Disability Information Helpline for people with disability

Do you have a question about coronavirus (COVID-19)? Do you need help because things have changed?

You can contact the Disability Information Helpline to talk about your concerns in relation to coronavirus (COVID-19), for example if:

your support worker has not turned up
your provider has stopped services
it’s hard for you to get food, groceries, medications or other essential items
someone close to you has symptoms of coronavirus
you are feeling really upset
anything else is worrying you.

To contact the Disability Information Helpline, please call 1800 643 787.

The Helpline is available Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm (AEST). It is not available on national public holidays.

If you are deaf or have a hearing or speech impairment, you can call the National Relay Service on 133 677.

If you require support in another language you can use the Translating and Interpreting Service (TIS National) free of charge by:

calling the Disability Information Helpline on 1800 643 787 and asking for an interpreter. The counsellor will make the arrangements, or
calling TIS on 131 450 and asking to be connected to the Disability Information Helpline on 1800 643 787.

The Disability Information Helpline is free, private and fact-checked.
