If you support someone with a disability, there are things you can do to help them during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This includes assisting people with disability to:

• use good preventative measures, like physical distancing and handwashing
• get tested for COVID-19 if they need to do so
• access their usual health care, like going to the GP or pharmacist
• access their usual disability supports
• maintain good physical and mental health
• seek further help where required.
