How does the NDIS and this Agreement work?
Where possible a copy of the Participant’s NDIS plan may be attached to their Service Agreement. The Parties agree that this Service Agreement is made in the context of the NDIS, which is a scheme that aims to:
How is my Service Agreement Renewed?
The Service Agreement may be renewed by the parties on or before the termination date of the existing Service Agreement. Renewal of the Service Agreement must be agreed in writing by both parties (the Participant/Participant’s Nominee and the Parramatta Mission).
How do you change the “Schedule of Supports” provided under your Agreement – either every now and then or permanently?
The Participant and Parramatta Mission may agree on ad-hoc changes to the schedule of supports from time to time subject to Parramatta Mission being able to meet such changes at short notice.
The Participant and Parramatta Mission may vary the Service Agreement to accord with any change to the Participant’s NDIS plan.
Any variation must be agreed in writing after consultation between the Participant and Parramatta Mission and will apply no earlier than 7 days after the agreed date of variation.
Where there are frequent changes either the Participant or Parramatta Mission can request a review of the Schedule of Supports.

What is your Cancellation Statement?
Under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), you have certain rights to cancel a Service (known as Support):
Please note: if cancellation of supports is not received within the notice period Parramatta Mission may make a claim.
Under the ACL, in the event that Parramatta Mission fails to supply a support due to its own default, then it shall not make a claim for that support. The Participant/Participant’s nominee shall be entitled to require Parramatta Mission to re-supply the support. If the Participant/Participant’s Nominee arranges alternative support, the alternative Provider shall be entitled to claim. The Participant shall not be entitled to make any claim on the initial Provider in this event.
Please contact us if you have any further questions in regards to your service agreement or anything else.
