Community involvement

Growing Stronger went Live on 14 July 2011.  All client funding requirements (for existing and new clients) will now progress through the regional Intake and Assessment/Reassessment process.  Please refer to the Growing Stronger information regarding this process, which can be accessed via this link http://www.communities.qld.gov.au/disability/key-projects/growing-stronger-investing-in-a-better-disability-service-system
