Disability  

Disability supports through the NDIS. 

Your preferences come first. We’re here to explain the options, answer questions, and back you to live your best life with care at home.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funds reasonable and necessary supports to help you achieve your goals and live more independently.

Who is it for? 

People under 65 with a permanent and significant disability (age and other criteria apply). 

People aged 65+ may be supported through aged care programs instead. 

How we can help

Access and planning: Guidance on NDIS access, plan meetings and goal setting. 

Using your plan: We work with NDIA-managed, plan-managed and self-managed participants. 

Local home supports: Trusted staff, flexible scheduling, and supports that fit your routine.

Services and supports available with Maitland Community Care Services that can be funded by the NDIS: 

Support Coordination 

Our trained and caring Support Coordinators can help you understand and put your plan into action. 

They can help you build the skills you need to use your plan to achieve your goals, whatever they are. 

We will work hard with you, so you can live as independently as you are able, and participate in your community, using the NDIS funds available to you. Together, we'll get the best value from your NDIS plan, accessing the supports and providers that suit you best. 

Transport and Travel Training 

Our friendly team can provide transport to wherever you are going, (and home again) or we can help you take public transport by building your confidence to do so. 

Learning to use transport services could be a key part of living an independent life. 

All our staff have an NDIS Worker Check and Police Check.

Our friendly staff can help you to prepare the meals you like in your own home. 

Or if you prefer, we can arrange for the delivery of frozen nutritious meals to your door, ready to heat and serve when you want it. 

Our menu has a wide range of meals available including vegetarian, curries, pasta, roast dinners, fish and much more. We can also cater for special dietary requirements.
