On this page, learn more about our role as NDIS providers and how we can help you obtain subsidised care.

What Is The NDIS And How Does It Work? 

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government program that provides care funding to people with disabilities. It is a form of social security that reduces the cost of support services, helping you remain independent at home.

NDIS services in Eltham are only available to people with disabilities under age 65 (or 50 in some instances). Funding goes toward daily living assistance, transportation to social events, medication management and other tasks.

Obtaining NDIS carers requires applying to the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). Staff evaluate your disability level and provide appropriate funding to cover your care costs.

This process can take several weeks. However, once funding is in place, you can spend it at NDIS-registered providers like Home Caring.

How Can You Use NDIS Funding? 

You can use NDIS funding for anything that supports your health and well-being or manages your disability. The NDIA is deliberately holistic in its approach, understanding that you might have different requirements than another participant in a similar position. All you need to do is arrange the services you want to receive with your NDIS-registered provider.

Here are some of the things you can ask them to do:

• Assist you with various chores around the house, such as washing clothes, cleaning surfaces, and sweeping floors
• Help you meet with other people in the community, including your friends, family, and support network
• Take you to doctor’s appointments or the hospital when you need a health checkup
• Assist you with showering, toileting, grooming or getting into bed at night
• Help with your mobility around the home, including transferring you from your bed to your wheelchair
• Teach you essential life skills, such as budgeting your expenses or cooking meals with fresh ingredients
• Provide mobility equipment, such as walkers or handrails to help you get around your home
• Feed your pets and prune shrubs in the garden
• Arrange items in your kitchen to make them more accessible for you
• Help you find educational opportunities at colleges to learn new marketable skills
• Advocate for you in the job market
• Assist you with vocational training opportunities
• Support the religious or spiritual aspects of your life
• Educate you about healthy living and enable you to engage in more exercise

As you can see, the list is pretty long! The idea is to provide you with more options so you can enjoy what life has to offer. Ultimately, you have choice and control over the services you use.

Who Is Eligible For NDIS?

The NDIS wants to make subsidised support as accessible as possible. Therefore, the eligibility requirements are minimal. To qualify, you must:

• Have a disability that requires the assistance of an NDIS service provider (physical and cognitive)
• Be under the age of 65 (or 50 depending on your ethnicity)
• Be an Australian citizen or resident

Home Caring can tell you if you qualify for NDIS funding upfront. But don’t worry if you don’t: you may be eligible for other subsidies (which we will discuss with you).
