Let's talk NDIS
What is the NDIS?
The NDIS stands for the National Disability Insurance Scheme. It is the new way of providing support to Australians living with a disability, their families and carers. The NDIS takes a lifetime approach, investing in people with a disability to help them achieve their goals including independence, community involvement, education, employment, health and wellbeing.
How do I access the NDIS?
To become a NDIS participant you must:
- Have a permanent disability that significantly affects your ability to take part in everyday activities
- Be aged less than 65 when you first enter the NDIS
- Be an Australian citizen or hold a permanent visa or a Protected Special category visa
- Live in Australia where the NDIS is available
Find out if you are eligible by visiting the NDIS website.
What is an NDIS provider?
NDIS providers are individuals or organisations that deliver a support service or product to NDIS participants. Each NDIS participant has a plan that lists the goals they want to achieve and the supports the NDIS will fund to achieve them. NDIS participants choose which provider to purchase supports from. ILSA is a registered NDIS provider. Contact us now!
How do I prepare for NDIS?
When entering the NDIS, you will have an appointment with a NDIS planner. It is important to be prepared in order to get the most out of your NDIS planning session. It is the planning session that helps determine your goals, needs and funding levels. We would be more than happy to assist you in getting prepared so please Contact Us. You can also visit the NDIS website for assistance in creating your plan.

How much does it cost to use ILSA's services?
The NDIS sets the prices a provider is able to charge in the NDIS Pricing Guide. One of the first things ILSA does before providing support is to develop a budget for the supports that meet your requirements. Before providing support, an ILSA Client Manager will meet with you to ensure the budget estimate and contents of your Service Agreement with us are fully explained and understood.
