Let us put our expertise to work for you! We can help you determine your eligibility for funding based on your unique needs and financial situation. Many of our services can be paid for privately, and some may be covered by insurance or medical assistance funding available through the state.
The Australian Government provides a range of financial supports for children, teenagers and adults with disability and their carers. To access financial support, you will have to apply for funding schemes – they will not be granted to you automatically.
Eligibility requirements for funding may vary, so you or your child might qualify for support under one scheme, but not another. Some schemes (or services) may also have limited funding, as such you may be put on a waiting list.
NDIS -The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is the way that people with disabilities are being financially supported in Australia. It is managed by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).
The NDIS works on an individual basis with people who have been diagnosed with a disability or disorder, or who are suspected as having a disability or disorder, to determine a funding plan for reasonable and necessary support. Some supports may also assist the carers of people with a disability or disorder.
If you or your child has autism, physical disability, the NDIS may be able to support you to gain access to services and support in your community. It can also provide funding for early intervention therapies, or one-off items or assistive technologies.
There is no minimum funding under the NDIS and the funding allocated to each participant varies based on an individual’s needs.
