The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) is an Australian government initiative to bring quality support closer to people living with disability and enhance their standard of living. Recognising the importance of addressing this need, the NDIS makes funding accessible to people in need all across Australia. So if your life has been affected by physical, intellectual, sensory or mental disability, you can receive quality support for your needs, from low to high intensity, with help from the NDIS.
The NDIS has a short list of criteria in order for people to qualify and become a participant. You have to be between the ages of 7 and 65, you must be living in Australia with a permanent or significant disability, and you must be a citizen, have a permanent visa or a Protected Special Category Visa. If you fall into these categories, you are likely to be eligible for NDIS funding, and we encourage you to begin your application process so you can start receiving our quality supports for a better life.
The NDIA stands for National Disability Insurance Agency, which is a government body that oversees the implementation of the NDIS. It handles quality control and makes sure that participant’s rights are protected, while also providing information, and assisting with referrals.
You can apply to the NDIS telephonicallover the phone y by calling 1800 800 110 or fill out an Access Request Form online and submit it. Make sure you have proof of ID, proof of residence and proof of your disability or any documentation from your doctor ready when you apply.
You can receive funding for a range of supports depending on the severity of your disability and whether or not you meet the criteria. Supports can include help with personal in-home care, nursing care, travel/transport, assistance with employment and accommodation, community participation, assistive technology and more.
The NDIS will assess your disability support needs to determine what level of care you require. If you have high intensity needs and meet the criteria, you could receive funding for complex care.
The NDIA can manage your plan, or you can ask a plan manager for assistance. You can also self-manage your plan, in which case you will be in charge of making payments on time to your providers and keeping track of your own budget.
If you require support from a specialist, for example allied health therapies, we can put you in touch with professionals in our network of providers to get you the right care. More than that, we work with your wider team of supports to ensure we're all working towards your goals.
Simply fill out our contact form, call us or send an email to describe your disability and your support needs. We will then schedule a free consultation with you to hear your story and work with you to come up with a solution that fits your budget and your individual requirements.
We'd love to hear all about your goals in life. Contact us for a free 30 minute consultation, and let's come up with a plan that works for you.
