Get to know the NDIS

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a new Australian reform designed to provide more individual support for people with a disability.

You may be able to access funding to help cover the cost of support and training programs. Learn more about the NDIS, your eligibility for financial assistance under the NDIS, and get the answers to frequently asked questions.

Funding options for seniors

The Australian Government provides funding for services to help senior Australians maintain independence, through My Aged Care. My Aged Care can cover the costs associated with supports to keep you living at home the way you want to, even as you experience a change or loss of vision.

We offer a number of government-subsidised programs you can access through My Aged Care. These include support services, personal care, nursing, care coordination and case management, allied health and other clinical services.
