NDIS Application Help
Getting NDIS support can be confusing in a new country. ISC makes it easier. We help you understand and apply for NDIS step by step. For example:
- Explain the NDIS: We break down what the NDIS is and how it works, using simple words in English or your home language.
- Check eligibility: We help you see if you can apply for NDIS. We explain the rules in easy terms.
- Apply for NDIS: If you are eligible, we help you gather all papers and fill out the forms. We can even talk to doctors or agencies for you.
Our team sits with you one-on-one. We ensure your paperwork is completed accurately, whether we meet you in Sydney or speak over the phone. From start to finish, we’re with you every step of the NDIS journey.
Understanding Your Support Plan
Once your NDIS application is accepted, the next step is making a support plan. This plan is your list of supports and goals. We help you create it. We listen to what you want. For example:
- Do you want to learn new skills?
- Do you want to join a community group or get a job?
- Do you need a better home setup?
We work with you to include your goals in your NDIS plan, always respecting your culture and family needs. Together with your family, we sit down to understand what matters most to you. Together we make a plan that fits your life. This plan is written in plain language, so it’s easy to understand.
Mobility and Personal Care Assistance
A support worker helps an older people with daily mobility and personal care. We can connect you with people who help at home. This includes personal care like help with showering, dressing, eating and other daily tasks. A support worker can also assist with cooking, cleaning or moving safely in your home. We help you get any equipment you need, like wheelchairs, walking aids, or shower chairs. These aids make it easier to move around and stay safe. Having help at home and the right equipment means you can do more on your own and feel comfortable.
- We arrange home support: someone comes to your home to help with chores.
- We provide personal care support: friendly staff assist with showering, dressing and meals.
- We help get mobility aids: such as a wheelchair, walking frame or scooter to make moving around easier.
These services mean daily life is easier and safer. You will have more time to spend with family and do the things you enjoy.
Language-Specific Services
We offer support in your language. Our staff speak Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali, Tamil, and other Indian languages. This means we can explain things in words you understand. For example, we will explain your plan and NDIS rules in Hindi if that is easier. We can also translate letters or forms for you. Being able to ask questions in your language makes getting help much simpler.
Support for Carers
We know that families and carers also need help. In Australia, if you care for someone with a disability, you may get extra support and payments. For example, there are government payments called “Carer Allowance” or “Carer Payment”. We can explain how to apply for these payments. We also tell you about respite services – these are programs that give carers a break.
- We give information to families and carers about rights and payments.
- We connect carers to support groups and counseling.
- We help carers find respite care so they can have a rest.
This carer support means you won’t have to manage alone. We guide you to resources so the whole family stays healthy and supported.
Community Inclusion Programs
A community meeting for people with disability, showing inclusive group support. We help you join in community life. ISC runs programs and events where you can meet others from the Indian community. We can help you attend social groups, sports clubs or cultural festivals. These programs let you make friends and be part of the community.
