The funding will support people with disability to access these services during the transition to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and in the early stages of the full Scheme. Ms Cooke said the announcement is great news for people from Young with a disability.
"The NSW Government is committed to successfully transitioning services to the NDIS and ensuring people with disability are at the centre of choosing their supports."
Existing disability advocacy non-government organisations funded by the Department of Family and Community Services (FACS) will be invited to apply. A key focus of the NSW funding will be on activities that support inclusion of people with disability in their communities.
