NDIS Support
The NDIS is an insurance scheme, jointly funded by the Australian and State Governments, designed to ensure that you have the support you need to live your best life.
The NDIS helps us to ensure you are at the centre of your decision-making. It means that you have more choice and control over how, when and where supports are provided.
We are a registered provider of services under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which means we can support you to develop an individually tailored program to help you achieve your goals.
With your NDIS funding you have a whole range of support options to choose from. We use person-centred principles to make sure you can live your best possible life.
“We support the National Disability Insurance Scheme’s vision of an inclusive Australian society that enables people with disability to fulfill their potential as equal citizens.”
