The NDIS
Understand how the NDIS works, what you are entitled to,
and how Aurum Support Coordination can help you make the most of every dollar in your personalised NDIS plan.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme is a Australian
Government initiative designed to provide funding and support
to people living with a permanent and significant disability.
Unlike previous disability support systems, the NDIS puts you
in control by giving you a personalised plan and funding that
is specifically tailored to your individual needs, goals, and
circumstances. The NDIS recognises that every person with a
disability is unique, and that the right support at the right
time can make an extraordinary difference in a person’s life.
Currently over 600,000 Australians are accessing the NDIS and
for many it is the first time they have received the level of
support they truly need to live a full and meaningful life.
To be eligible for the NDIS you must be under 65 years of age,
be an Australian citizen or hold a permanent or a Protected
Special Category visa, and have a permanent and significant
disability that affects your ability to take part in everyday
activities. You may also be eligible if you have a
developmental delay that is likely to affect your ability to
participate in daily life without support. The NDIS also
provides early intervention supports for children under the
age of 7 who have a developmental delay or disability, giving
them the best possible start in life. If you are unsure
whether you or a loved one may be eligible, our team at Aurum
Support Coordination is here to guide you through the entire
eligibility and access process with clarity and care.
Once you are approved for the NDIS, you will receive a
personalised NDIS plan that outlines your goals and the
funding allocated to help you achieve them. Your funding is
divided into three support budget categories including Core
Supports which help with your everyday activities, Capital
Supports which cover assistive technology and home
modifications, and Capacity Building Supports which help you
build your skills and independence over time. Your funding is
determined based on what is reasonable and necessary to meet
your individual needs and goals. At Aurum Support
Coordination, we help you fully understand your plan and
ensure every dollar of your funding is being used effectively
to support your goals and improve your quality of life.
At Aurum Support Coordination, all of our pricing is based
strictly on the current NDIS Price Guide and Support Catalogue
as set by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. We are
committed to complete transparency and fairness in our pricing,
ensuring you always know exactly what you are being charged and
why. We never charge above the NDIS price limits and we always
work within your plan budget to maximise the value of every
support you receive. Our fees for Support Coordination are
claimed directly from your Capacity Building budget, meaning
there is no out of pocket cost to you as a participant. For
