I wanted to inform you of UMFC’s position regarding the NDIS.

“UMFC is committed to providing services to people with a disability and is currently exploring how we could do this under the NDIS in a viable and sustainable manner, including all the necessary business practices associated therewith. We plan to announce if this is achievable by the end of March.”

UMFC Message for Victorian NDIS participants

We continue to support people with disability, their families and carers. However, we are not currently in a position to do so under NDIS. We will provide updates here and on social media once we know more.

UMFC Message for Victorians without NDIS packages

UMFC continues to provide supports to people with disability, are ageing or have dementia, and their carers and families. You can contact us using the form on this page, call us on 02 6055 8000, or download our brochures to find out more.

With the year drawing to a close I just wanted to express my appreciation to all staff and volunteers for another outstanding effort in supporting the agency’s mission.

As I said at our Xmas lunch, the great reputation the agency enjoys is because of the work done by staff and volunteers, not only this year but the years preceding as well. Next year is shaping up to be a very exciting one with our building being completed (expected round August) our DHHS audit and Gala Ball in the same week in February (!) and the implementation of recommendations arising from some significant government reviews.

So, I hope you have an enjoyable and relaxing Xmas / New Year break, because from the 1/1/16, I sense we are going to find the twelve months racing by very quickly.

PS: I also hope Santa brings you what you want!

UMFC acknowledges the First Peoples of Australia as the traditional custodians of the land on which we work. We acknowledge their culture is a living one, which relates to their ongoing connection to all things living and non-living on land, sea and sky. We pay our respect to their elders past and present. May our children of today lead us to a better tomorrow.
