Wondering what it is exactly?

The (NDIS) National Impairment Insurance Scheme is a assistance programme for those who have a serious permanent disability.

With millions of individuals living in Australia with a handicap, it’s critical to understand what kind of assistance and care you can get.

NDIS occupational therapy is designed to assist Australians under the age of 65, and it is expected to have a beneficial influence on close to 500,000 Australians once it is fully implemented across the country. Most of the individuals who will be helped by the NDIS occupational therapy haven’t ever been capable of accessing the help they need and will now be able to better their lives.

The scheme’s goal is to help disabled individuals access a wide range of services, including physicians, community groups, sports clubs, schools, information and libraries.

For qualifying patients, NDIS occupational therapy is funded.

Is it true that I am eligible?

You should be below the age of 65 and have a condition that limits your opportunity to undertake ordinary tasks to be eligible for NDIS Occupation Therapy.

There are certain additional conditions, such as being an Australian permanent resident residing in the country. You may also be questioned about how much support you need, such as the usage of specific equipment, the need for ongoing assistance from others, or the need for assistance to lessen your future demands.

The easiest way to find out whether you’re qualified to access NDIS occupational therapy is on their website where you can check out their eligibility criteria, or get in touch with them directly.

Is it accessible where I live?

The NDIS is now available to Australians throughout the country. Contact your local representative to find out if your eligible for it and what’s available in the area. As of now, hundreds of thousands of individuals in Australia have already benefited from the programme thus far. Whether you’re unsure if it’s available in your region, check out their online rollout map to find out more.

How can I access the program?

The first stage is to be accepted into the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). You’ll be able to use a variety of services after your application has been upgraded. Contact a local coordinator for assistance in organising your requirements and getting you in touch with providers of the service in your region.

With the scheme, you have a lot of options and control, so you can choose to pick a supplier.
