Latest update

Coronavirus (COVID-19) has temporarily changed the way we are looking after you at APM.

We are still here to support you on your NDIS journey, but we will be delivering our services differently to help keep you and our teams safe.

Most of our offices remain open, but we are also offering meetings by phone or video instead of face-to-face. NDIS participants can contact their LAC by calling 1800 276 522.
