ART provides an intensive case management approach to support eligible children and young people to access the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
ART can help you throughout the entire access process from start to finish by:

- Liaising with doctors and specialists to gather information and evidence
- Submitting your completed application to the NDIS and tracking its progress until you receive an outcome.
