Continental Care – Enhancing Lives

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can help you by providing tailored support and services to meet your specific needs and goals. Whether you require assistance with daily activities, access to therapies, or support to participate in your community, the NDIS is designed to empower you to live a more independent and fulfilling life.

• To be eligible for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), you must meet certain criteria. This includes being under the age of 65, being an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or a Protected Special Category Visa holder, and having a permanent disability that significantly affects your ability to participate in everyday activities. Additionally, you must reside in an area where the NDIS is available and require support from a person or equipment to do everyday activities because of your disability. If you meet these criteria, you may be eligible for NDIS support.

  How long does the NDIS last?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides support over a participant’s lifetime. Once you are deemed eligible and have an approved plan, your NDIS funding will typically last for the duration specified in your plan. Plans are usually reviewed annually to ensure they continue to meet your changing needs and goals. Additionally, if your circumstances change significantly, you can request a plan review at any time to adjust your supports and funding accordingly. Ultimately, the NDIS is designed to provide ongoing support to help you achieve your goals and live a fulfilling life.
