All NDIS participants, support workers and carers over 16 now eligible for COVID-19 vaccination
All National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants aged 16 years and over and carers aged 16 years and over of NDIS participants of any age are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine from Tuesday, 8 June.
From Tuesday 8 June, all NDIS participants will be able to find a vaccination site using the Department of Health's eligibility checker.
"We are working quickly to provide more locations for people to receive their vaccination in safe, accessible settings," Minister Reynolds said.
"It is a particularly important step forward that both paid and unpaid carers of NDIS participants are now able to get the vaccination as soon as possible, and I would like to thank Carers Australia for their advocacy on this issue."
The number of NDIS participants getting vaccinated is growing.
