The NDIS or National Disability Insurance Scheme is a government-funded scheme that provides services to Australians with disabilities. NDIS OT Kalgoorlie is the leading provider of NDIS services in the region. Here’s an introduction to NDIS and how it works.
Some people may be unfamiliar with what NDIS means, so let’s start off by defining it! The NDIS stands for the National Disability Insurance Scheme which was introduced by the Australian Government in 2013. At its core, this program offers all Australians under 65 years old who have a disability or medical condition, regardless of their income level, access to reasonable and necessary supports while also providing funds for these individuals’ carers if needed. NDIS OT Kalgoorlie is one of the leading providers of NDIS services in the region.
How NDIS Works
Now that we know a little bit more about NDIS, let’s delve into how it actually works. After you’re approved for NDIS, an individualized plan will be created for you based on your needs and goals. This plan will outline all of the reasonable and necessary supports that you’ll receive which can include therapies, equipment, transport, and even housing assistance. In some cases, carers may also be funded through NDIS if they provide essential support to the person with a disability.
The great thing about NDIS is that it offers people with disabilities more choice and control over their lives than ever before. NDIS will allow them to design and implement a plan that best supports their needs.
The NDIS can provide funding for housing in some circumstances, but it may depend on your individual situation as to whether you’ll be eligible or not. The NDIS OT Kalgoorlie is here to help!

As mentioned before, therapy services are typically what people think of when they hear NDIA (National Disability Insurance Agency) and this is one area where NDIA has made significant changes over the last few years: there’s actually been an increase in demand for therapies which means that providers like ours must make sure we’re always on top of NDIS changes and can help you prepare. NDIA recently announced a significant change in the way NDIS services are provided, including a new focus on regional areas where people may not have access to some NDIS therapy options which they would get if living in larger cities or metropolitan areas.
The NDIS has also made several announcements about how therapists will be able to provide therapy for more clients at once: this is great news because it means that each client gets more time with their therapist! This doesn’t mean you’ll see your therapist less often – instead of seeing your OT every week, say, they may come out twice a month so there’s room for more than one person per day.
