What Is the NDIS?
The NDIS is a service by the Australian Government. It gives money and support to people who have a permanent and serious disability. The aim is to help people live more independently and do more in their daily life.
With the NDIS, people can get services like:
- Help at home
- Therapy (like physio or speech)
- A support worker
- Help finding a job
- Access to group activities
But the NDIS can be confusing. That’s where we come in.
How We Help at the Indian Support Center
We don’t just explain the NDIS. We walk with you every step of the way. Our team understands your culture, speaks your language, and respects your needs.
We provide five main services to help you get the most from NDIS:
1. Understanding the NDIS
The NDIS has many rules. It uses big words that are hard to follow.
At ISC, we break it down. We explain:
- What the NDIS is
- How it can help you
- What kinds of support you can get
- What you need to apply
We talk in simple English or your own so you feel confident and clear.
2. Checking Your Eligibility
Not everyone can get NDIS. But we can help you find out if you or your family member can apply.
You may be eligible if:
- You are under 65 years old
- You live in Australia (citizen, permanent resident, or special visa holder)
- You have a permanent and significant disability
We go through the checklist with you. If you qualify, we help you gather the documents you need and prepare your application.
3. Creating Your NDIS Plan
If your NDIS application is accepted, the next step is to make a plan. This plan says:
- What you need help with
- What goals you have (e.g., learn new skills, find a job, get therapy)
- What kind of services will help you
We sit with you and help create a personalised plan. We make sure it reflects your goals, your family situation, your culture, and your language needs.
4. Connecting You with NDIS Services
Once you have a plan, we help you put it into action.
We connect you with trusted NDIS providers who can deliver the services listed in your plan. These might include:
| Service Type | What It Includes |
| Personal Care | Help with showering, dressing, eating |
| Therapeutic Supports | Physiotherapy, speech therapy, psychology |
| Community Participation | Support to attend events, learn new skills, or socialise |
| Employment Assistance | Help finding and keeping a job |
| Accommodation Support | Finding safe and supported living arrangements |
We only work with providers who respect your culture and language. You will feel safe and welcome with them.
5. Ongoing Help and Check-ins
Things change. Your needs may grow. Your goals may shift.
We don’t leave you once the plan is active. Our team checks in regularly to make sure:
- You’re happy with your services
- You’re reaching your goals
- Your plan still fits your life
If something’s not right, we help fix it.
Culturally Sensitive Support
At ISC, we believe support should match who you are.
We offer services that are:
- In your first language
- Based on your culture, religion, and family values
- Respectful and friendly
We understand values — like caring for elders, strong family ties, modesty, the need for women-only spaces for support and keep those in mind when helping you.
