NDIS Registered Service Provider
Our NDIS funded essential support helps people with Disabilities
What is NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) helps and supports individuals who live with permanent and significant disability to live as independently as possible. The National Disability Insurance Agency implements the NDIS.
Some of the supports that the NDIS provide to help an individual live an ordinary life include:
Assistance with personal activities
Support with daily household tasks
Improve wellbeing
Support in gaining employment
See Eligibility for NDIS
To be eligible for the NDIS, a person must fulfil the following conditions
Have a significant and permanent disability that substantially reduces their functional capacity, or they need access to early intervention supports
Be an Australian citizen, a permanent resident, or a protected Special Category Visa holder
Be under the age of 65 when first applying to become a participant
Live in an area where NDIS is offered.
Where applicable, meet the age/or phasing requirements for that area during the staged roll-out across Australia

How does NDIS work?
The NDIS will fund reasonable and necessary supports that help people with disability to achieve their goals. The NDIS will not fund supports and services that are funded under mainstream services, but they will help the person with disability connect to those services.
If a person is currently receiving disability services, they will be contacted before their region is scheduled to transition to the NDIS. Clients of defined programs and services will generally be considered to satisfy the disability requirements without further evidence being required.
If they are not currently receiving services, they will be able to apply to access the NDIS when it becomes available in their region during the staged roll-out across Australia.
