NDIS Services Darwin
"We currently have no in-person capacity in this area, however if you fill in our enquiry form you'll be added to our telehealth waiting list."
Individuals who are suffering from a disability may lack independence that can affect their entire lives. Since their disability will bring limitations to how they function as an individual, they might result to become emotionally unstable and isolate themselves from the society which can further worsen their conditions. If they are not given the immediate attention and proper support they need, more problems can emerge that may affect their overall health. Fortunately, the Australian Government has formed the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Act 2013 to provide the needed support for individuals with permanent and significant disabilities. Thus, citizens and residents of Darwin who are exhibiting permanent and significant disability will benefit from NDIS Services.
NDIS aims to provide support to all eligible NDIS participants to help them treat their permanent and significant disability, and eventually eliminate it so they can live their life freely. NDIS Services also emphasises helping individuals with a disability to improve their lives so they can navigate and perform daily tasks comfortably. Since every individual has specific needs, goals, and conditions, the support provided by the NDIS will be tailored according to the participant's specific demands to assure that the treatment plan will be effective. NDIS Services are available to the citizens and residents of Darwin who are exhibiting permanent and significant disability, and eligible for NDIS funding.
What are the NDIS Services?
NDIS understands that to provide an efficient holistic treatment plan to the participants, it must be done according to each of their individual needs, goals, and unique condition. Therefore, NDIS Services is designed to meet each of their differences to assure that all of their demands and unique conditions will be provided with the needed support to create an effective support plan.
Listed below are the 15 categories of NDIS Services which are the following:
Improved Daily Living
To achieve their purpose of improving the participant's lives, NDIS will assist right at the participant's home and other spaces they usually stay. Since performing the daily task will be quite difficult for an individual with a disability, NDIS can help in performing daily tasks such as meal preparation, personal hygiene, home maintenance, getting temporary accommodation, and the use of transportation.
Improved Living Arrangements
To assure that the participants are living the best of their lives, NDIS will assist by improving the residences of the participants and make them comfortable to live in. Also, if in any case that the participant is renting a temporary accommodation, the NDIS will extend its support to make sure that the participant is living a comfortable life.
Assistance with Daily Life
Since individuals with disabilities will have limitations in performing simple daily tasks, NDIS will assist in performing the daily task to make the participant's life easier. NDIS can assist in performing tasks such as personal care which includes taking a bath, using the toilet, getting dress, or taking a meal.
Improved Learning
Disability can also affect an individual's capacity to learn; as a result, they will have a limited function to accomplish some tasks. Thus, NDIS will provide training, therapy, and other related programs that can help the participants improve and develop their abilities to be able to function well in their day-to-day lives and in the community.
Improved Health and Wellbeing
NDIS Services offers a holistic approach to encourage the participants to have a healthy lifestyle. The support provided by the NDIS aims to improve the participant’s physical, mental and emotional wellbeing that can help them live their lives comfortably. Participants will be allowed to partake in physical training, recreational activities, or be assisted in making a healthy meal plan.
Improved Life Choices
Individuals with a disability will tend to lack confidence and the ability to make decisions. That's why NDIS will assist the participants to help them make the right choices to work towards achieving their goals by providing skills training related to task management, monetary, connecting to providers, and assist in availing the needed support provided by the NDIS.
Improved Relationships
Encouraging individuals with a disability to improve their social relationships will be beneficial to their overall health. Thus, NDIS will assist the participants by providing family counselling, behavioural therapy, and programs related to social development.
Transport
If in any case that the participants will have difficulties using public transportation due to their disability, NDIS will provide transport assistance to the said participants to make sure that they can go on with their lives comfortably. However, the use of transport assistance has limitations and the travelling arrangement by the participant’s service providers will not be covered.
Consumables
To assure that the participant's essential daily needs are acquired, consumables will be provided by the NDIS. Through this, the participants can acquire essential products that can help them with their condition such as continence aids and wholesome goods.
Home Modifications
NDIS also considers that home modifications will be essential for some cases, to suit the participant's needs, goals, and unique condition. Through home modifications, the participants will be more at ease in navigating their environment. Essential items or changes will be installed to improve mobility such as bathroom railing, chair lifts, or free-standing showers.
Assistive Technology
NDIS will also provide assistive technology to make certain tasks doable by providing the participants essential mobility tools, communication aids, or vehicle modification which can help them navigate their lives easily.
Assistance with Social & Community Participation
To help the participant improve their social relationship and engage in community events, NDIS will assist by providing access to community events and activities that can encourage socialisation.
Increased Social and Community Participation
Since individuals with disabilities tend to isolate themselves from the community, NDIS has designed their programs via group recreational activities to increase the chances of socialisation by meeting new people.
Finding and Keeping a Job
To help the participants live a stable life, NDIS will assist them to find and keep a job by providing funding to help them improve their resumes, assist in adapting to their work and develop their skills to keep a job and provide community referrals.
