I receive a support worker through VMCH. They're really, really good, going above and beyond. Sometimes there can be a delay when organising different events or activities to go to, but once organised, it's always great.

I've been using early intervention service for 2 years for my son incl. speech, OT, and Mytime. I've found it really helpful in understanding how to manage my son better. They're always open to any questions, and get back to me if I have any problems, it's a real team effort. They can get through to my son, they're patient, caring, and firm. He didn't speak when we got there, and his sensory issues aren't as bad as they were. The information about how to treat him has helped me a lot.

Villa Maria support my daughter to work/volunteering - they spend 2 hours and do a few other things that she enjoys. I'm very happy with them, the follow up and administration has been fantastic, they keep me up to date. They also give me feedback and are open to feedback themselves about what's working and not. The worker is also a good match for my daughter. The set up took a bit of time so we missed for first few months of the plan, but that sounds pretty much across the board with any providers learning the new NDIS system. Once we got going, it was great.

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.

To learn more visit https://www.ndis.gov.au/applying-access-ndis/am-i-eligible

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.

The first thing to check is your eligibility by visiting the following link: https://www.ndis.gov.au/applying-access-ndis/am-i-eligible.

For more details, see our step by step guide by visting https://support.kismet.healthcare/resource-hub/what-are-the-steps-in-the-ndis-process.

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.
