Understanding the NDIS: Your Guide to Support & Services
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government initiative that provides funding and support to Australians living with a permanent and significant disability. At Care Holistic, we’re committed to helping you understand how the NDIS works and how to access the support you need.
This page explains the basics of the NDIS, eligibility, funding types, and how we can assist at every step of your journey.
What Is the NDIS?
The NDIS is designed to give people with disabilities more choice and control over the supports they receive. It provides funding for services that help participants:
- Live independently
- Develop skills
- Join community activities
- Access therapy and personal care
- Achieve their goals
The NDIS is individualised — meaning no two plans are the same.
Who Is Eligible for the NDIS?
You may be eligible if you:
- Are aged 7 to 65 years
- Are an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa
- Have a permanent and significant disability that affects your ability to take part in everyday activities
If you’re unsure, visit the official NDIS eligibility checker or talk to us — we’ll help you assess and apply.
What Does the NDIS Fund?
NDIS supports may include:
- Personal care (e.g. showering, dressing)
- Community participation
- Transport to appointments and events
- Therapy (e.g. occupational therapy, speech pathology)
- Home modifications
- Assistive technology (wheelchairs, mobility aids)
- Short-term accommodation (respite)
- Development of daily living and life skills
Types of NDIS Funding
Your NDIS plan may include:
- Core Supports: Everyday activities, transport, and daily personal support
- Capacity Building: Skill development, therapy, training, and plan coordination

We work with you to understand which category applies to your goals.
