Australia has one of the best disability support networks, which is linked to the National Disability Insurance Scheme, which funds care and connects people with the services they need. The NDIS is a scheme managed by the NDIA, (National Disability Insurance Agency) and the organisation is dedicated to improving the lives of many disabled Australian citizens.
Supported Independent Living (SIL)
One of the disability support services offered by your local care provider would be supported independent living. Living in a shared accommodation setting, you are assisted and encouraged to retain your independence; a team of healthcare professionals help you to formulate a personal development plan with specific goals and a timeline is set for guidance. All parties are involved in the planning and implementation, which virtually guarantees success, helping you to be more independent.
Respite care
Full-time carers need a break to recharge their batteries and with short stay accommodation, both carer and patient experience a change of scenery. If you think your primary caregiver is in need to a break, contact a local NDIS-approved care provider and combine this with a short stay at one of their shared homes. We should all take what pleasure we can from every passing moment, as this blog highlights.
In-home support
You might live alone and don’t really need too much in terms of outside help; a daily visit to clean the home, weekly trips to the supermarket, or help with daily personal care activities; the service is designed around your needs. Your carer is experienced and provides emotional support, as well as the practical help you need.
Rehabilitation
If you are recovering from an illness or injury, you can approach a local care provider, or better still, contact the NDIS and they can refer you to the best healthcare provider in your vicinity. Post-surgery recovery is something a team of experienced healthcare workers regularly provide; your GP might refer you to an NDIS approved caregiver, an organisation with the resources and know-how to provide the best support for people with disability.
Community participation
It is vital that you have some form of community interaction; you might love to play bingo or you are a board game addict, whatever hobby, there are groups you can join, and with transportation and ongoing care, you won’t miss out on your favourite pastimes. Weekly trips ensure you don’t miss out on the fun! NDIS funding ensures that you receive the best care from an organisation that is dedicated to improving the lives of disabled Australian citizens.
