Disability Services Commission - Local Area Coordinators (LAC)

LACs operate as service coordinators, assisting people with the disabilities and their families/carers to plan, select and receive needed supports and services. LACs provide local support to children and adults with physical, sensory, neurological, cognitive and/or intellectual disability who are under the age of 60 at the time they first apply for support.

To find your LAC go to
http://www.disability.wa.gov.au/forindividuals/lacd.html

Your LAC will meet with you for a chat and to discuss what your family (and the individual with a disability) needs. They will make suggestions for you to access services, advocacy, activities etc - for your family member and their carers.



We all have lots of balls to juggle - it's important to seek support when ever life gets complicated or difficult (which for many of us is all the time!).
