NDIS Resources & Helpful Information

The NDIS is a government-funded program that provides support for people with a permanent and significant disability. It helps fund services, therapies, and equipment that support daily living, independence, and wellbeing.

The NDIS supports people who meet eligibility criteria based on age, residency, and disability impact. It is designed for children, adolescents, and adults who require ongoing support to manage everyday activities or reach personal goals.

Each participant receives an individualised plan with funding based on their needs and goals. This funding is then used to access supports and services that help build skills, independence, and community participation.

The NDIS only funds supports that are considered “reasonable and necessary.” 

This means the support must:

• Relate directly to your disability needs
• Help you pursue your goals
• Support your daily living and independence
• Represent value for money
• Be something the NDIS is responsible for funding

Capacity Building Supports
Focus on building skills and independence. This is where most allied health services sit, including Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, Physiotherapy, and Recovery Coaching.
