For Support Coordinators

The NDIS, or National Disability Insurance Scheme, is an initiative developed by the Australian Government. Its primary goal is to provide funding to eligible individuals with disabilities, enabling them to attain greater independence, acquire new skills, explore job opportunities, volunteer, spend quality time with friends and family, and ultimately enhance their overall quality of life. The NDIS offers personalised Care Plans tailored to your unique goals, aspirations, and support requirements. Each plan typically spans 1-3 years and adapts to your evolving needs and life circumstances.

Yes, participants have the flexibility to change providers at any time during their NDIS journey, as long as the change aligns with their care plan and funding arrangements. We work closely with participants and support coordinators to ensure a smooth transition and continue to provide high-quality, personalised care throughout the process.

Yes, in addition to in-home and community support services, we offer a broad range of NDIS supports, including but not limited to:

• Support Coordination: Helping participants navigate the NDIS system and connect with appropriate service providers.
• Capacity Building: Providing services that help participants build the skills they need for increased independence.
• Respite Care: Offering support for caregivers, so they can take breaks while knowing their loved ones are well cared for.
• Community Engagement: Assisting participants in joining social, recreational, and educational activities within their communities.

We take a flexible, responsive approach to each participant’s needs, ensuring that all aspects of their care are covered.

NDIS funding can be used for a range of supports that fall into three main categories:

1. Core Supports: Includes funding for everyday tasks such as personal care, cleaning, transport, and household activities.
2. Capacity Building Supports: Focuses on building skills and independence, such as support coordination, therapy services, and employment assistance.
3. Capital Supports: Covers funding for equipment and technology that support the participant’s independence, such as wheelchairs, modified vehicles, and home modifications.

Each NDIS plan is unique, ensuring that funding is directed towards the supports that align with the participant’s goals and needs.

To apply for NDIS funding, individuals must meet eligibility criteria and submit an application to the NDIA (National Disability Insurance Agency). The process typically involves providing medical evidence, personal information, and details about how the disability impacts daily life. We can assist with navigating this process, ensuring that all required documentation is submitted correctly and that participants receive the support they need.

• Core Supports are designed to help with the daily activities that are essential for independent living, such as personal care, transport, and household tasks.
• Capacity Building Supports focus on building skills and capacity to enable greater independence. This includes services like therapy, training, and support coordination to help participants make informed decisions and live more autonomously.

Both types of support work together to ensure participants receive comprehensive care that helps them reach their goals.

Yes, respite care is available under the NDIS to provide short-term relief to caregivers. This support allows participants to receive care in a way that ensures they remain safe and well cared for while giving their caregivers the chance to rest and recharge. Respite care can be tailored to the needs of both the participant and their caregiver, offering peace of mind and maintaining the overall well-being of everyone involved.
