NDIS Information
What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a new way of providing support for Australians with disability, as well as to their families and carers. The scheme takes a lifetime approach to ensuring that Australians with disability will have the necessary support they need to live an ordinary life.
Who is eligible to access the NDIS scheme?
The NDIS is accessible to those who:
1. Have a permanent and significant disability
2. Are under the age of 65 when you first enter the scheme
3. People who live in Australia and have Australian residency
If you are eligible, the NDIS will provide funding for reasonable and necessary supports that are required for you to live your life and reach your goals.
How does the NDIS work with Fighting Chance?
Once you receive your NDIS plan, you can select Fighting Chance as your NDIS provider. This means that the support covered in your plan will be provided by Fighting Chance and funded by the NDIS. As a registered NDIS provider, we will support you to achieve your professional and personal goals.
Categories of support that Fighting Chance can assist with through the NDIS include:
- Assistance with daily life
- Transport
- Social and community participation
- Coordination of supports
- Improved living arrangements
- Increased social and community participation
- Finding and keeping a job
- Improved relationships
- Improved life choices (Plan Management)
- Improved daily living skills
Our Pricing
The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) appoints price controls by setting price limits and pricing arrangements that registered providers can charge for those services. As a registered NDIS provider, Fighting Chance has set the price for each support with each participant, subject to the price limits and arrangements imposed by the NDIA.
Fighting Chance is also compliant with the NDIA’s eligibility terms to use the Temporary Transformation Payment (TTP) conditional loading and will use the TTP prices where applicable.
