Disability Supports and services funded by the NDIS & how to get this?

The NDIS provides funding for supports and services that fall into three broad categories:
Core supports: These are supports that help a participant complete their daily living activities, such as personal care, mobility, and household tasks.
Capital supports: These are supports for an investment, such as assistive technology, equipment, and home or vehicle modifications. Capital supports can also include funding for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA).
Capacity building supports: These are supports that help a participant build their independence and skills, such as support for employment, education and training, and building social and community participation.

The specific supports and services that are available to a participant depend on their individual needs and goals, as outlined in their NDIS plan. The NDIS has a pricing and funding framework in place to guide the types of supports and services that can be funded and the price limits for those supports. Participants and their families can refer to the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits for more detailed information on the supports and services available under each category, as well as the price limits and funding rules.

How to get NDIS participants Disability Support and Services?

To access disability support and services through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), a person needs to meet the eligibility criteria for the scheme.
To be eligible, a person must:

• Disability Requirements :

  Have a permanent disability that significantly affects their ability to take part in everyday activities, or have a developmental delay and require early intervention support

• Age Requirements :

  Be aged under 65 years.
  

• Residence Requirements :

  Be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa holder.

Once a person is deemed eligible for the NDIS, they will be assigned a dedicated NDIS Planner or Local Area Coordinator (LAC) to work with them to develop a personalised plan. The plan will set out the person\’s goals, aspirations, and support needs, and will determine the funding and services they are eligible for.
The participant can then use their allocated budget to purchase the supports and services they need to achieve their goals. The types of supports and services that can be funded through the NDIS include assistance with daily living, transport, assistive technology, home modifications, coordination of supports, and more.
To access supports and services, participants can choose from a range of registered NDIS service providers who offer the supports and services they need. Providers can be searched for on the NDIS website, and participants can choose the providers that best meet their needs and preferences.
It\’s important to note that participants need to ensure that the supports and services they choose are \”reasonable and necessary\” and align with their NDIS plan goals. If they have any questions or concerns about the supports and services available to them, they can discuss this with their NDIS Providers or LAC.
