National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
WHAT IS
The National Disabilty Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
WHAT IS THE NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a national initiative in Australia that provides funding and support to eligible people with disabilities, helping them access the services and resources they need to live a more independent and fulfilling life. The NDIS is designed to support participants in achieving their personal goals, improving their quality of life, and enhancing their capacity to engage within their communities. Through tailored plans, participants have the choice and control to select the supports that best suit their needs.
At Lotus Life Therapies, we are a registered NDIS provider offering a range of services, including counselling (therapeutic supports), home and lawn services, and transport support. Our goal is to empower individuals with the right tools, compassionate guidance, and practical support to help them thrive and create a life that aligns with their unique strengths and aspirations.
To qualify for NDIS funding, individuals must:
- Be an Australian resident or citizen
- Be under 65 years of age
- Have a permanent and significant disability that affects daily activities and participation.
- Require ongoing support to enhance independence, improve capacity, or engage more fully in the community.
Why does the NDIS cover counselling?
The NDIS recognises that mental and emotional well-being is a key aspect of living a fulfilling life, especially for individuals with disabilities. Counselling (therapeutic supports) is covered under the NDIS to help participants manage the emotional challenges that often accompany living with a disability. This support empowers individuals to better understand their thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and work towards personal goals in a safe, supportive environment.
Counselling plays a crucial role in improving overall quality of life by promoting mental health, resilience, and emotional well-being, helping NDIS participants navigate the complexities of their daily lives with greater confidence and independence.
How can NDIS counselling help me?
Counselling provides a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, helping you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your unique challenges. It can assist you in managing stress, processing difficult emotions, and developing practical strategies to cope with life’s ups and downs. For NDIS participants, counselling focuses on enhancing mental and emotional well-being, building resilience, and improving confidence, so you can live a more empowered and independent life.
With the guidance of a qualified counsellor, you can set meaningful goals, work through obstacles, and create a path forward that aligns with your personal strengths and aspirations.
