There are millions of Australians who are living with permanent and significant disabilities, having difficulties with their daily lives, and are commonly left out in life. Since their disabilities have a great impact on their functional capacity and overall wellbeing, they must be given the right attention and immediate support they need. The Australian Government has established the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which aims to provide the necessary support to eligible NDIS participants. Through the NDIS Services, the citizens and residents of Hobart can contact Positive Moods, a registered NDIS service provider that can assist them with support offered by the NDIS.
NDIS aims to provide support to eligible participants that are in line with their specific needs, goals, and unique condition. With this approach, the treatment plan offered by the NDIS can help the participants improve their health condition, and greatly change their lives, their families, and carers. In addition, to assure that the participant's needs are individually met, the NDIS Services Hobart consist of 15 categories of support services, including:
Improved Daily Living. NDIS understands that individuals with disabilities will struggle to do simple daily tasks due to their condition. To help with this, they will need assistance in their daily living to improve their living conditions. Under the improved daily living support, the NDIS will assist the participants, their families, and carers right at their homes, and other places they usually stay. They can assist in performing daily tasks such as meal preparation, home maintenance, personal care, getting temporary accommodation, and use of transportation.
Improved Living Arrangements. To make sure that the participants are living a comfortable life, NDIS provides improved living arrangements supports. Under this service, NDIS can help by improving the participant's home to make it a comfortable accommodation. Moreover, if in any case that the participants are renting a temporary accommodation, NDIS will extend its support to make sure that the participants are living in comfortable accommodation.
Assistance with Daily Life. Since having a disability can affect one's functional capacity, resulting in difficulties in doing simple daily tasks, the NDIS assists with daily life support to the participants. Under this support, NDIS can help the participants with their daily life to ensure that they are provided with convenience. NDIS can assist in doing tasks such as personal care such as taking a bath, using the toilet, wearing clothes, or taking a meal.
Improved Learning. Other than the difficulties in performing daily tasks, a disability can also hinder an individual to learn and develop skills that are essential to become a functional human being. That's why the NDIS provides improved learning support to make sure that the participants can become independent in the future. Under this support, the participants can undergo various therapy, training, and other programs beneficial to develop and improve skills needed to perform daily tasks, and participate in the community.
Improved Health and Wellbeing. Besides assisting the participants with their daily struggles, NDIS also aims to help them improve their health and wellbeing. Under this service, the participants can receive holistic support encouraging them to pursue a healthy lifestyle by undergoing physical training, recreational programs, or learning how to prepare a healthy meal plan.
Improved Life Choices. Another common problem that individuals with disabilities face is the lack of self-confidence, resulting in the inability to make the right decisions. NDIS offers the participants the improved life choices support to guide them on making the right decisions for their lives and to help achieve their goals. Under this service, the participants can undergo skills training regarding task management, monetary, getting in touch with providers, and help in acquiring the essential support provided by the NDIS.
Improved Relationships. Generally, individuals living with disabilities may tend to isolate themself which can also worsen their health condition. Since the NDIS aims to improve the participant's condition, they offer the improved relationships support to encourage them to interact and improve their social relationships. The participants are provided with family counselling, behavioural therapy, and other related social development programs.
Transport. In cases that the participants struggle with using public transportation due to their disability, the NDIS also offers the transport service to make sure that they can carry on with their daily activities. However, the utilisation of this support has its limitations, and if the participant's service providers offer a travelling arrangement, it will not be covered.
Consumables. To further extend their support, the NDIS also offers the consumables service to make sure that the participants can purchase the daily products they need to help them with their health conditions. Under this support, the participants can buy the necessary products like continence aids, and wholesome goods.
Home Modifications. The participant's home or accommodation also needs to be modified to make sure that it suits their needs, goals, and unique condition, which is essential throughout their treatment plan and in their entire life. Under this support, the NDIS can provide essential products and modifications at the participant's home such as chair lifts, ramps, bathroom railing, or free-standing shower.
Assistive Technology. Apart from modifying the participant's home, NDIS will also provide assistive technology that can help the participants in lessening the restrictions of their disability. The participants can perform tasks easier using assistive technology such as communication aids, mobility tools, or vehicle modifications.
Assistance with Social and Community Participation. NDIS can also help participants under the assistance with social and community participation to encourage socialisation. They can assist the participants to get access to community events and activities to help them partake in society.
Increased Social and Community Participation. To encourage the participants to socialise and participate in the community, the NDIS has designed their programs through group recreational activities to increase the possibility of interacting with new people.
Finding and Keeping a Job. Since the NDIS aims to help the participants live an independent life, they also offer support to find and keep a job to ensure they will have a stable life. Under this support, the NDIS can assist in helping the participants improve their resumes, assist in the workplace to help in adapting, improve skills needed to keep a job, and provide community referrals.
Coordination of Supports. Getting support for individuals with disabilities can be a challenge.
