When you are looking for quality care in the home for a relative, you need to find the provider that supports every single one of your loved one’s needs. People with a disability are often talked about as if they are in one group, but we know that every individual client at Home Caring has different needs, we endeavour to ensure that we provide a service that meets those needs. Providing care that has been completely personalised for every individual is important to us here at Home Caring. We recognise every individual as the unique person that they are, and it’s why we avoid a solution that is “one size fits all”. Our care plans are person-centred, not plan-centred, which means that you get a service that shines a light on what you need and delivers a solution for it.

What Is NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme – or NDIS – is implemented entirely by the National Disability Insurance Agency. It is a focused initiative that allows those who qualify to access funded supports that are based on the needs of the individual. The support that is provided under an NDIS plan allows your loved one to continue to live a full and independent life, and there is a variety of funded support available with the National Disability Insurance Scheme. This support covers some of the following areas:
Health & Wellbeing
Individuals who qualify for this level of support will be able to get help with daily personal care and activities such as those that Home Caring can provide.
Employment
Disabilities don’t restrict some people from successfully obtaining a position in a company, and NDIS support can assist with keeping this employment and finding it in the first place.
Social Interaction
NDIS approved service providers like Home Caring can ensure that you maintain connections in the community, which can include behavioural support and therapeutic support for everyday life.
Education
NDIS accredited providers like Home Caring can provide clients with links to community education programmes
Daily Living
With NDIS support, individuals can get the help that they need with daily supported living in the home.
Mobility Equipment
Whether your loved one needs technology to assist with movement every day or you need modifications to their vehicle to enable them to get around, NDIS can help.
Home Caring has been involved in providing excellent care with those who require an NDIS plan, and we are registered as a provider of the services under the NDIS scheme. You can speak to one of our professional managers, and we can talk you through whether you are eligible for NDIS support. If you are, we would love to work with you on a care plan for your loved one and talk you through how we can provide the support that you need.
We pride ourselves on our ability to understand the specific needs of those who are living with a disability, which is why we are on the NDIS service provider list. If you need help accessing the NDIS, then you need to speak to the designated support person at Home Caring. We want to assist you and your loved one with making informed decisions about the care support that you need.

There are specific criteria that need to be met to be eligible to qualify for an NDIS plan with an NDIS provider. The criteria include the following:
- Your loved one must be under the age of 65
- Your loved one must be:
- An Australian citizen, or;
- A permanent resident, or;
- A citizen of New Zealand who is a Protected Special Category Visa holder

At Home Caring, we are proud to be able to provide NDIS disability care. If you have any questions as to whether your loved one is eligible for NDIS provider support, giving us a call can make a big difference to the future of care your loved one receives.
Why the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 developed the NDIS, and it has been a life-changing response to the needs of those who require specialised disability care. There is an emphasis on community support, education and happy daily life. There were other care programmes developed previously as individual schemes, and these have come together to create a new opportunity in which all needs can be met in one single place. This means that NDIS approved service providers like Home Caring can provide services that are above and beyond all others.
Eight Domains Of NDIS
There are eight specific domains of the framework of the National Disability Insurance Scheme, and these are as follows:
Home
The NDIS takes into account the way that your loved one can undertake support or receive support for domestic chores as well as maintain a home that is as safe as possible.
Lifelong Learning
This NDIS support includes access to all methods of learning, both formal and informal. Educational engagement skills are included, as well as home skills that can be learned for better stability.
Health & Wellbeing
Personal hygiene is a big part of health and wellbeing, and this NDIS support element is the management of the health and diet needs of the participant. Water intake, exercise and medication are all included in this area, too.
Day-To-Day Living
This considers what your loved one will need to maintain their independence during the day. This includes communication, time management, personal care and commitments.
Employment
Fulfilment comes from having somewhere to feel needed, and part-time work can lead to this. NDIS care providers work hard to help participants of NDIS plans to obtain and maintain employment long term.
Relationships
Personal connections and relationships are essential, and this NDIS support can help to support those connections. There is also help for those who do not have access to a circle of friends or do not have any family.
Social and Community Participation
Interactions in terms of attending social community events and volunteering are important, and it’s seen as a key to personal happiness and growth.
Choice and Control
Person-centred care plans allow an element of control over how the care is given, and this NDIS support enables a participant to have autonomy over the supports that they want to engage in.
Individualised Care Plans
The one thing that stands out with NDIS plan management providers is that you can obtain a care plan that is wholly individual and tailored to the needs of your loved one. The chosen supports that you want to be involved with are entirely up to you and your loved one, with your support implemented through an individualised plan. When you determine your eligibility for NDIS funding, one of our managers will sit down with you to talk you through the application process.
You’ll then be able to decide on the support that you want for you and your loved one.
Individualised NDIS plans aren’t just based on the needs of today, but of the aspirations and goals that you have for the future. Practical and emotional support needs are covered, and with the right consultation with your NDIS approved providers, you also have the chance to adapt your individualised plan, later on, should you wish to.
NDIS Funding
National Disability funding is varied, and it depends on the need of the participant as to how much will be allocated. The NDIS will provide the support that is reasonable and necessary, and they will assess individuals looking for assistance under the following circumstances:
- The support offered has to relate to the disability of the participant
- Funding does not cover costs unrelated to the disability support needs
- Support must be a good value for money
- Support can only be given if it will benefit the participant
- NDIS support has to consider the support offered by the loved one’s family, home carers, community and their wider network.
