NDIS Funding
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a Government program that provides funding for people with disability under the age of 65. This funding is based on your individual needs, goals, and aspirations.
With the NDIS, you can get support for many areas of life—such as finding and keeping a job, daily living assistance, accommodation, learning new skills, joining activities, and much more.
The best part? You’re in control. You choose the type of support you receive, when and where you receive it, and which providers you want to work with.
We know the NDIS can sometimes feel overwhelming. That’s where we come in. Our friendly and experienced team can guide you and your family through your NDIS plan—helping you understand your options, get the most out of your funding, and take steps towards your goals.

Fee for Service
We understand that everyone’s needs are different. That’s why our fee-for-service options are tailored to suit your individual goals and the type of support you’re looking for.
Before we provide a price, we’ll guide you through a simple self-assessment. This helps us understand your needs, the level of support required, and how we can best assist you. Once we have this information, we can give you a clear and personalised quote—so you know exactly what’s included and what to expect.
Our aim is to ensure you only pay for the services you need, and that you get the right support to help you reach your goals.
