Exploring the domain of NDIS disability care can be complex. Even today, many are unaware of the huge potential of NDIS funding. Initiated by the Australian government, the NDIS has been designed not only to offer funding for care to the people with disability, but also to promote autonomy and help them make informed decisions about the life they want to lead.
For those who are wondering about the intricacies of the NDIS funding, here one of the leading registered NDIS providers, OSAN Ability will be sharing some important facts that would help you in your NDIS journey.
Introduction to the NDIS
National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) acts as a medium for the people with disability to receive funding for the right disability care and support services to meet their needs and achieve their desired goals.
To be an eligible NDIS participant, one should be aged between 9 years and 65 years and must be living with significant and permanent disability. For the children younger than 9 can get the support of early childhood approach whereas the older adults over 65 can receive various other developmental care services.
Exploring The NDIS Funding
NDIS funding can be categorised into different support categories and each category is tailored to mitigate unique needs of the participants. Before we explore the funding, it is quite important to know about these categories and their benefits.
There are three prime categories of supports and services offered by the NDIS which are as follows:
- Core
Under this category, an NDIS participant can get professional assistance to perform their daily routine activities, everyday household chores, assistance with social and community participation and help with transportation.
- Capacity Building
In this category, a participant is provided with assistance aimed at achieving their personalised goals along with promoting independence and skill development.
- Capital Support
Under this category support is provided for specific items including personal care, assistive technologies, mobility equipment and home or vehicle modifications.
