Help with NDIS

Helping you get the funding you need

The NDIS system can be complex, and knowing whether you are eligible can be confusing. As a registered NDIS provider, Australian Carers are experts at navigating the process.

Australian Carers helping with NDIS funding

Struggling to access funding?

We can help you

If you have struggled to get access to the scheme, or believe your funding entitlement was unfair, we can put you in contact with an advocate who will work on your behalf to resolve the issue. Our goal is to make the process as stress-free as possible.

The NDIS pays us directly

As a registered NDIS provider, the NDIS pays Australian Carers directly for the support workers we provide, so you do not have the stress of sorting and dealing with payments.

  1. 1

    A phone chat about your situation

    Call your nearest branch. We will listen, explain your options and answer your questions.

  2. 2

    A consultation in your own home

    One of our experienced team members meets with you to work out what services and supports you want to access with NDIS funding to achieve your goals. This is a great opportunity for you and your family to ask questions.

  3. 3

    An advocate if you need one

    If necessary we can refer you to an advocate to act on your behalf with the NDIS. This is a service you are not charged for.

  4. 4

    A tailored care plan

    Once your funding is approved, Australian Carers builds a care plan from your Care Needs Assessment. You will see the difference a quality provider makes to your NDIS experience.

NDIS information

What is the NDIS?

NDIS stands for National Disability Insurance Scheme. Around 4.3 million Australians have a disability. The NDIS provides funding to Australians aged under 65 with a permanent and significant disability so they can access the supports they need to live an ordinary life.

As a registered NDIS provider, Australian Carers can help you with accessing your NDIS funds and putting them to work through the supports in your plan.
