About NDIS Funding
The introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme is the greatest generational reform to social welfare to occur in Australia. This scheme represents the commitment of Australian Governments nation-wide to supporting all Australians of diverse abilities to maximise their potential and participate as equal citizens in Australian society.
Carer’s Network is a registered private provider with the NDIS. Our care packages are tailored to meet your, or your loved ones, specific needs.
There are a variety of supports available for those living with a permanent and significant disability, the Carer’s Network team of professional support workers can provide the personalised care that you need, in the way that you want.
Ways to manage your NDIS funding
There are three options when it comes to managing your NDIS funding – Self-Management, Plan-Managed Funding and NDIA-Managed Funding. You can also choose a combination of the three options. These options will be discussed with you during your planning meeting with the NDIS.
No matter how your funds are managed, you still have choice and control to ensure your services are working for you and fit in your budget.
Self-Management
When you manage your NDIS funding yourself, giving you the flexibility and choice to decide what supports you buy to pursue your plan goals.
Plan-Managed Funding
The NDIA will provide funding in your plan to pay for a Plan Manager who pays your providers for you, helps you keep track of funds and takes care of financial reporting for you.
NDIA-Managed Funding
The NDIA pays providers on your behalf. You can choose from a range of NDIS registered providers, who can electronically claim payment directly from your NDIS funding.
