NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) funding is available for people living with a permanent and significant disability that affects their daily life.
To be eligible, you must:

• Be under 65 years of age

• Be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or Protected Special Category Visa holder

• Have a disability that requires ongoing support to participate in everyday activities

An NDIS service provider is an individual or organisation registered with the NDIS to deliver supports and services to participants.
These services can include:

• Daily living and personal care

• Therapeutic supports (e.g., counselling, occupational therapy)

• Community participation programs

• Behavioural or psychological support

• Employment or mentoring programs

Providers like CoastCare Sydney help participants work toward their goals and live more independently.

The duration of NDIS support depends on your individual plan and goals.

• Typically, NDIS plans run for 12 months (1 year).

• Plans are reviewed annually, and adjustments are made based on progress or changing needs.

• You can also request a plan review at any time if your circumstances change.

You can easily find registered NDIS providers by:

1. Visiting the official NDIS website and using the “Find a registered provider” search tool.

2. Entering your location (such as Sydney) and the type of service you need.

3. Contacting providers directly — like CoastCare Sydney — for free consultations or service enquiries.

• Submit supporting documents — Include medical reports or evidence of your disability.

• Attend a planning meeting — Discuss your goals and the supports you need.

• Receive your approved plan — Once approved, you can start working with your chosen providers, such as CoastCare Sydney.
