FAQs

What is the National Disability Insurance Scheme?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a new way to provide funding and supports to people with permanent and significant disabilities across Australia. Home Care Services WA is a registered NDIS provider and delivers services across Perth. The NDIS provides lifetime supports to individuals who meet the eligibility to criteria. The supports are based on a plan that includes your support needs, goals and aspirations. We work with you to create a plan to suit your own goals and hopes.

How Does it Work

If you are eligible for the NDIS, you will receive funding on an annual basis to purchase the services, aids and equipment that you have been assessed as needing from the service provider/providers of your choice such as Home Care Services WA. In addition, you can choose either to self-manage your own funds, in which case you make claims to NDIS personally, or else ask the NDIA – the agency established to administer the NDIS – to manage your funding for you. As individual circumstances, conditions or needs change, NDIS participants will be able to apply to have their funding plan adjusted accordingly.

Management of your funds is called ‘Plan Management’. Your options for Plan Management are:

•Manage your funding yourself – the NDIS will provide you with the funding to pay directly to the people and organisations that support you. This is called self-managed.
•You can nominate a trusted person to manage your funding, called a ‘plan nominee’
•Use a registered Plan Management provider
•Ask the NDIA to manage your funding for you, which is called agency managed.
