Big two join forces to help before NDIS

A DISABILITY service provider will team up with a larger statewide group to streamline operations ahead of national disability insurance scheme reforms. 

Early learning disability provider Education Program for Infants and Children (EPIC), located at RMIT University’s Bundoora campus, will join forces with advocacy group Annecto to make use of its scope across metropolitan Melbourne, the Loddon Mallee, the Grampians and other areas of regional Victoria, Northern Tasmania and New South Wales. 

EPIC chief Nicole Mahar (pictured with Annecto head Adam Carrozza) says both organisations were “looking to share resources and expertise”. 

The federal government’s DisabilityCare Australia will support most of EPIC’s services.
