NDIS Frequently Asked Questions

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian government initiative designed to provide funding for individuals with disabilities. It supports eligible Australians by offering funding for the care and services they need to live more independently and achieve their personal goals.

Below are answers to some common questions about the NDIS and how we work with it.

The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) is a government-funded program that provides financial support for people with disabilities. It covers a wide range of services to help individuals lead more independent lives and reach their personal goals. The NDIS offers funding for disability care and support, tailored to each participant's needs.

The NDIA (National Disability Insurance Agency) is the government body responsible for managing and implementing the NDIS. The NDIA provides assistance with accessing services, creating care plans, and offering referrals to the appropriate supports

To access the NDIS, you must contact the NDIA. They will guide you through the application process, assess your eligibility, and work with you to create a funding plan that suits your needs.

NDIS funding amounts vary depending on individual needs. The amount of funding you receive is based on a planning meeting with your NDIS planner, where they assess the types of care and support you require. The NDIA ensures that your funding covers the necessary supports to help you live independently and meet your goals.

NDIS funding covers various services, including daily living support, such as help with personal care, household tasks, and daily activities; life skills development, including support for communication, mobility, and social skills; community participation through access to social, recreational, and community activities; aids and equipment like assistive technology to enhance independence; home modifications for accessibility improvements to your living space; transport and mobility funding for transport and mobility aids; therapeutic supports, such as physiotherapy, speech therapy, and more; and employment supports to help with job search and retention.

Your NDIS funding is determined based on your personal needs and goals. There are no set funding levels; instead, your NDIS planner works with you to allocate funds for the services and supports that will help you achieve your best possible quality of life. Your funding is regularly reviewed and can be adjusted as your needs evolve.
