What is the NDIS?

The NDIS offers support with:

• Accommodation options
• Daily personal activities
• Getting out and about in the community
• Transport to community groups and daily life activities
• Employment and workplace assistance
• Therapeutic supports, including early intervention
• Household tasks
• Home and vehicle modifications
• Mobility equipment

There is no funding for general health or education services under the NDIS, since these services are available to everyone in the community. You can, however, seek assistance from them in accessing any of the community services, or receive support while using these services.

Anyone who is eligible can access the NDIS. 

To see if you are eligible, use the NDIS Eligibility Checklist.

You will be able to view your NDIS plan to find out how much funding you have, which categories you have access to, and what they are used for. In order to clarify your options based on your funding, we can review your plan with you.

The NDIS plans have three support budgets:

• Core Supports budget: for supports that help with everyday tasks and      activities, including community participation and transport.
• Capacity Building Supports budget: for supports that help you become more independent and build on your skills.
• Capital Supports Budget: is for one-off purchases you may need, including      technology and home modifications. It also covers Specialist Disability      Accommodation (SDA). Capital Supports budget funds can only be used for  their specific purpose.

Good Shepherd Support Services charges in line with the NDIS Price Guide

Once you have your NDIS plan and know which supports you’re funded for, we’ll work with you to find the right services for your funding.
