NDIS – we are here to help you

From the 1 July, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) became available in the Brisbane region.  Diversicare is registered as a NDIS service provider since September 2017 and has over 29 years of experience helping people with disability and health conditions.

We have been in contact with our Queensland Community Care Services (QCCS) consumers to help them transition to NDIS. The NDIS will provide about 460,000 Australians under the age of 65 with a permanent and significant disability with the reasonable and necessary supports they need to live an ordinary life.

Ten per cent of people with severe and profound disability, between the age of 0-65, come from homes where a language other than English is spoken.  According to the National Disability Insurance agency only about 5% are accessing services for people with disability.

For more information go to www.ndis.gov.au or phone 1800 800 110.  For people with hearing or speech loss TTY 1800 555 677 and for people who need help with English Telephone Interpreting services 131 450.
