The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian Government initiative to fund the costs that come with having a permanent and significant disability. It helps people with disability and their families get the support they need. The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) oversees the delivery of services and funding for NDIS Merrylands.
NDIS funding supports people with disabilities to play an active part in their community and achieve their goals. NDIS The is not income tested, nor are there co-contribution fees for participants. What that means is that families do not have to foot the bill for the full cost of the support they need. This means that people looking after someone with a disability can have confidence in the support their family members need. You can also still access services outside the NDIS in your local community, even if you are not a participant.
Personalised care services are offered by Circle of Hope to help people carry out daily activities such as dressing, bathing and grooming. With our support, individuals retain their dignity, and independence, while getting the help they need.
To encourage social interaction, we help people to get involved in community activities, events and programs. This service helps participants with connecting and independence-building through social experiences that are meaningful.
As part of our capacity-building services, we work on life skills such as budgeting, time management, and decision-making. These programs improve the abilities of individuals, allowing them to live more independent, and fulfilling lives.
We at Circle of Hope believe that every NDIS journey is different and so we take the time to develop a personalised plan that best fits your needs and your goals. Right from the start, we pay attention to understanding your needs, the things you like, and your goals in life. We work with you, your family, and also other support networks to create a plan that closely follows your idea of the future.
At Circle of Hope, our team of health professionals make sure the services you receive are the things you need: whether it’s helping you with daily activities, skill development, or community engagement. Our goal is to establish a strong and trustful relationship and give you support that is flexible and reactive to any changes in your life.
Your journey with NDIS at Circle of Hope is about allowing you to live as independently and fully as you can.
In 2015, the Director had a vision of Circle of Hope and wanted to give back to the community in the best possible way. In 2019, Circle of Hope began with its first participant, and that same person is still with us today. Since then, Circle of Hope has taken off, growing to about 350 participants and hiring around 100 dedicated staff. This growth is evidence of our continued focus on delivering best-in-class care for people in Merrylands, as well as our efforts to make a difference in the community.
If you’re caring for someone under the age of 65 with a permanent, significant disability, then they may be able to receive funding through NDIS. If you require assistance with the application process, call the Circle of NDIS Hope branch.
If you or your loved one is not eligible for the NDIS, Circle of Hope can link you to other local supports and services that may be beneficial.
Circle of Hope will be your first step towards a more empowered life. NDIS Our Merrylands team is available to offer you the best services as per your needs. Our vision at Circle of Hope is to empower you to become more independent, achieve your dreams, and lead a better future with the best NDIS services.
