Support for people living with disability

Get To Know The NDIS

The NDIS may seem like a lot to take in at first, but it’s really all about helping you. With over 4 million Australians living with disability, our government created the National Disability Insurance Scheme to help people living with disability and their families to access support. Everyone living with a permanent or significant disability that affects your quality of life may apply to the NDIS for funded support and services to improve your daily living, health and wellbeing.


Anyone between the ages of 7 and 65 who is living in Australia and is living with disability is likely to be eligible. Connect with a registered NDIS provider like Radiant Home Care for easy access to all the benefits that the NDIS has to offer you.

Frequently Asked Questions About The NDIS

  • What's the NDIS all about?

    The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a fantastic program that's been rolled out across Australia. It's designed to give people with permanent and significant disabilities more freedom, a greater connection with their community, and improved wellbeing.

  • How does NDIS funding actually work?

    With NDIS funding, it's all about what you need and what your goals are. Once you're accepted into the scheme, you'll get to sit down with a planner to work out your goals and the supports you need to get there. These supports are then funded through your NDIS plan.

  • How do I get started with the NDIS?

    To get started with the NDIS, you've got to meet a few eligibility requirements. These include being under 65 and having a permanent and significant disability. After that, you can apply online through the NDIS website or give the NDIS hotline a call.

  • What's a service agreement?

    A service agreement is like a contract between you and a service provider, like us here at Radiant Home Care. It sets out the services you'll get, how they'll be delivered, and how much these services will cost.

  • What does a support coordinator do?

    A support coordinator is like your personal NDIS guide. They help you get the most out of your NDIS plan by connecting you with service providers, helping you understand the NDIS system, and coordinating your supports.

  • What's a plan manager's job?

    A plan manager handles the money side of your NDIS plan. They take care of things like paying invoices, keeping track of your funds, and giving you monthly statements. So, with a plan manager, you can spend less time on paperwork and more time on achieving your goals.
