About

Essential Personnel is a not-for-profit organisation providing services and supports to individuals in Perth Metro and the Wheatbelt of Western Australia. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service to each individual and this is reflected in our performance results. Our Purpose: Supporting people to achieve their goals by putting their abilities first. Our History: Essential Personnel has several funding streams including the Federal Department of Social Services and the National Disability Insurance Agency. Essential Personnel prides itself on delivering exceptional service to each individual client and this is reflected in our performance results. Essential Personnel was established in 1989 to provide employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Our first office was established in the region of the Central Wheatbelt of Western Australia, in response to an identified gap in services to clients with disabilities in remote and regional areas. Since 1997, we have secured over 1600 jobs for people with intellectual, learning, physical, sensory, psychiatric and neurological disabilities. These clients are individuals who have a diverse range of skills and abilities and Essential Personnel has assisted them to gain and maintain employment and training of their choice. Today we are the longest serving employment agency in the Central Wheatbelt area of Western Australia. We have built strong, lasting relationships with employers, community organisations and disability agencies to assist people with disabilities to realise their potential and achieve their dreams and aspirations in employment and life. At present, our services have expanded to the Perth Metropolitan and Midlands/Wheatbelt districts. Our head office is located in Midland and we have offices in Northam, Cannington, Merredin, Moora and Armadale, delivering services in both Disability Employment and NDIS Lifestyle Services to over 700 individuals with disability.

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.
