Katie

Thank you Mind, two years ago I could not leave my house not even to get mail out of the letterbox. After the support that I got from my worker I am finally getting there.Yesterday I went to the supermarket on my own for the first time in more years than I would like to admit. Thank you again to my support worker for showing me that I can control my mental illness not my mental illness control me.

I used Mind for four years after many not so good experiences with other services. I was empowered to address my recovery which has set the foundation for becoming a member of the community after many year of isolation. Even though it took a long time my worker was happy to work at my pace. I highly recommend Mind as a client centered service provider.

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.
