Police have been alerted to what they believe to be scam phone calls claiming to be from Intereach.
Police are aware of a number of phone calls – from either a person or voice automated system – in the Deniliquin area in recent months. There have been reports of at least three different calls that have been received and some examples include:
• An automated message claiming to be Intereach and requesting bank account details;
• An Intereach volunteer being contacted by a person identifying as ‘Jim’ from Intereach;
• Another volunteer getting an automated message about a survey being conducted by Intereach.
Intereach CEO Keryn Fox said it’s disappointing to know the organisation’s name was being used in this way.
She said she wanted the community to be aware of phone calls of this nature and to report them to police or the organisation.
“We don’t use automated voice messaging services to conduct surveys and we don’t request bank details over the phone. Please be wary of any suspicious calls and please let police know, or contact our office. It’s disappointing to think that there are people out there promoting themselves to be from Intereach and asking for bank details and other personal information.”
Murray River Police District Inspector Jy Brown reminded people not to provide personal details over the phone to unsolicited callers. Insp Brown said if you’re unsure if a caller is legitimate, ask for a name and contact number and then hang up and call the local Intereach office to check the details. He said you can also alert police.
One of the ways you can learn more about the NDIS is by attending one of our Community Information sessions or workshops. These sessions cater for everyone, from those just learning about the NDIS to people who already have a plan in place. We hold a variety of these sessions across our footprint every month. So what sessions do we offer and how can they help you?
Mobile Information Van (Ivan) Visits:
Our NDIS Intereach Information Van, also known as iVan, is regularly out and about in our local communities. Ivan’s is reguarily parked in towns for a few hours at a time and manned with friendly staff who are available to answer any of your questions about the NDIS, what support is available and how to access the scheme. If you would like to request that Ivan comes along to your town, place of business or local event please contact our friendly Community Engagement staff by calling 1300 968 140 or emailing lac@intereach.com.au for further details.
Community Information sessions:
These sessions are particularly useful for people who haven’t attended an information session before or could do with a refresher. They are designed as general information sessions about the NDIS, designed to help people with disability, their families and carers get ready for the NDIS.
Drop in session: These sessions are aimed at participants who need assistance from a Local Area Coordinator to better understand their NDIS plan, along with other government agency supports. No appointment is necessary, just pop in for a short informal chat.
Workshops
Implementation workshop:
These workshops are designed to assist participants who have already had a planning meeting to increase your understanding and confidence when implementing your NDIS plan. These workshops cover topics such as understanding your NDIS Plan, understanding NDIS budgets/Self-Management, what are a Service Agreements and knowing where to find resources and supports.
Scheduled review workshop:
These workshops are aimed for current NDIS participants to learn more, and prepare for the scheduled plan review process. This workshop looks at how you are progressing towards your personal goals, exploring new goals and identifying changes in your life.
