Kurrajong will open an office on Banna Avenue later this year and create a hub for many of its services.
On Monday, Kurrajong representatives visited the new location to begin preparing the fit-out.
The focus of its new hub will be school leaver employment support, its day services and lifestyle choices program.
Kurrajong's client services general manager Mathew Bertram said short-term accommodation for respite services, support co-ordination services for Griffith and the region, as well as National Disability Insurance Scheme management would also operate out of the new hub.
"Some of these services aren't here in Griffith," Mr Bertram said.
"(But) Griffith's early-intervention service, Kurrajong Therapy Plus has been supporting the community for a long time."
Mr Bertram said the new office in Griffith would provide a better experience for Kurrajong's clients as well as reducing the need to travel for services.
Kurrajong's new Banna Avenue location will be the first stop for people looking to access services for the NDIS.
The number of enquiries from people looking to use NDIS services over the last two years had led to the decision to expand Kurrajong's presence in Griffith.
