What is the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)?

The NDIS is a national framework designed to provide support to people living with a disability, along with their families and carers. It ensures access to necessary services for individuals under the age of 65 who have a permanent and significant disability. We believe that everyone deserves the support they need to thrive, and we're here to help!

Important NDIS Updates – October 2024

As of October 3, 2024, significant updates have been introduced regarding NDIS funding and services. Participants should note that NDIS funding can now only be spent on items listed in the approved NDIS supports list. Any items listed as non-NDIS supports cannot be funded. It’s crucial for participants to review these updated lists to ensure their claims and service agreements are aligned with the new guidelines.​

Additionally, a new NDIS Bill that aims to clarify and improve funding processes has been enacted, which may affect how you access supports. If you have questions about how these changes might impact you or your services, please feel free to reach out—we’re here to guide you through this transition​ NDIS.

During your initial appointment, our podiatrists will also provide valuable foot hygiene training to NDIS participants, their families, and support workers.

We are here to support you every step of the way, helping you achieve greater independence and improved well-being.

We look forward to supporting you on your journey with the NDIS and helping you achieve your goals. If you have any questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to contact us!
