National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

We provide the following NDIS supports:

Assistance with travel/transport

We can assist you with travel/transport arrangements outside of your home to achieve your goals.

NDIS funding may be accessed to pay a provider to transport you to an activity if you can’t use public transport without substantial difficulty due to your disability. For example, we can provide assistance with travel to and from appointments with a GP or a physiotherapist, or to and from your workplace.

Household tasks

NDIS funding for household tasks enables you to access supports dependent on your disability.

If you find it difficult to engage in daily chores and efficiently perform activities around your home it is likely that your NDIS plan will include services for household tasks.

We can assist you with a variety of tasks such as:

Vacuuming and mopping floors
Dusting and wiping surfaces
Cleaning your kitchen including sinks, taps, benches and microwaves
Cleaning your bathroom including toilets, showers and baths
Other household tasks as permitted in your NDIS plan

We can also assist with activities such as:

Tidying your backyard
Gardening
Grocery shopping
Disposing of garbage

Assistance in managing life stages, transitions and supports / coordination of supports

NDIS funding can assist you to build the skills you need to understand and implement or use your NDIS plan.

Your Support Coordinator will work with you to ensure the right types of supports are in place to increase your capacity to achieve your goals, maintain relationships, access service providers, live more independently, increase your skills, and be included in your community or in employment.

This may include helping you to:

Understand your plan and what supports and services you can pay for with your NDIS funding
Understand the responsibilities of other services, such as health and education providers
Connect with the community and other services
