Waiting List

How the waiting list works

Currently applicants can expect to wait approximately six months before they are invited for an interview with a panel that includes one Direct Funding employee, a representative of the local Independent Living Centre and a local consumer of attendant services. The applicant discusses their needs and routines with the panel, which determines if the individual is eligible for DF.
