ABOUT DIA

Formed in late 2018 , Disability Intermediaries Australia (DIA) is Australia’s peak body for non-government  Intermediary service organisations and practitioners.

Collectively, DIA members deliver quality and person centered Support Coordination, Plan Management, Psychosocial Recovery Coaching and Digital Intermediary services to more than two thirds of all NDIS Participants across Australia.

Disability Intermediaries Australia members include a mix of corporate, large, SME and sole trader entities, that deliver supports and services to people in metropolitan, rural, remote and very remote settings.

As the NDIS continues to make intermediary services better suited to the self-determination goals of people with disability, Disability Intermediaries Australia will be an active voice for support and reform to intermediary products so that they are more reputable, resilient and viable.
