I used this service for my son. They provide support for him when we're not around for day to day living support. They occasionally take him out of home as required too. We've been with them for a while, and they've greatly improved over that time. They're very contactable, responsive to suggestions and concerns.

I used this service for my daughter. They helped find in home carers, new equipment, and help finding accommodation. It's been good, but I'm still getting used to delegating all these tasks. The only thing they could actually do better is to touch base with us a bit more regularly, which would be really helpful. I feel very comfortable having heavy conversations with them too which is really important.

My brother has been with an agency before that he didn't find helpful, but Give a Care has been much better for him. They treat him like a person, which is really important. They give us notice if anything goes wrong, which is really valuable so we can prepare accordingly. My brother is extremely happy with them, and more relaxed when he goes out with them now. They're flexible with his needs with is also really great. They've one of the best agencies that we've dealt with.

Your questions, answered

The NDIS provides funding to eligible people with disability to gain more time with family and friends, greater independence, access to new skills, jobs, or volunteering in their community, and an improved quality of life.

To be eligible for the NDIS, individuals must be under the age of 65, be an Australian citizen or hold a permanent visa, and have a permanent and significant disability that affects their ability to participate in everyday activities.

Your NDIS plan revolves around your personal life goals and aspirations. It is crafted based on the information you share during your planning session with your Local Area Coordinator (LAC). Within your plan, you will find a breakdown of the various supports required to help you reach your goals, along with the specific funding allocated to each support category.

Your NDIS plan is tailored to your needs and is reviewed regularly to ensure it continues to meet your changing circumstances and goals.

The NDIS can be difficult to navigate, it's important that you prepare and seek out assistance during your application process.

For more details, see our step by step guide by visting https://www.ndis.gov.au/applying-access-ndis/how-apply.

The NDIS requires service providers to register with them to allow for direct invoicing claims for NDIA-managed clients. However, not all providers opt for registration, meaning there could be a suitable unregistered provider out there that can offer you supports. Access to these unregistered providers is only available if you self-manage your funds or have a Plan Manager.
