It is important that you like your carers and establish a friendly rapport with them. We will usually send you your preferred carers, but sometimes your carers may not be available due to sickness or their leave arrangements. In this case, we will only make a substitution if you agree to it.
That depends upon your care plan and your requirements. If your preferred carer is available at the time you require them, then of course this will be arranged.
Given sufficient notice, it can be scheduled for your preferred carer to be available. If this is not possible, another qualified carer will be arranged to assist you, as long as you approve them.
Bathing, dressing, toileting, and grooming for up to two hours per day, including bowel management, skincare, bladder management, and menstrual management; first aid and medication administration; exercise, positioning, and moving for up to one hour per day; mobility assistance for up to two hours per day.
Daytime Self-Care Assistance – Standard – Weekdays. By assisting and supervising the participant’s daily tasks, the participant will learn to live independently.
In what sense does a daily personal activity with high intensity mean? Participants, workers, and others who participate in high-intensity daily activities are at higher risk. NDIS providers must take special care to hire skilled workers with the appropriate knowledge and skills to provide high quality and safe supports.
In the capacity building category, Improved Daily Living is included. A subcategory of this category is allocating funding for training and support to help individuals maintain or increase their skills to remain independent and participate in their communities.
Help with your daily bathing routine to feel confident and refreshed. As part of these supports, people can receive assistance dressing, showering, and toileting. Depending on the level of support, Self-Care can be classified as Assistance with daily activities at home, work, or community.
People in need of assistance with wound care or pressure care are provided with support workers. Nursing professionals are typically responsible for wound care.
Whether you live alone, are active in employment, educational, or social activities, or are otherwise away from home, personal activity support assists with daily activities. Such activities include supervision or assistance with daily living activities.
The Improved Daily Living Skills budget category includes the Core Supports and Capacity Building categories. By developing these skills, participants can live independently and require less assistance.
The NDIS enhances participants’ ability to travel independently. A ndis transport support may include equipment and aids related to personal transportation or training in public transportation.
A support worker can also assist you in the community if you need a ride. You will have to pay for additional travel costs, such as road tolls, parking costs, or public transportation tickets.
As part of the standard claim, providers must also charge travel time. Travel time claims should be identified as the claim type. Amounts should reflect the actual amount of travel time. For example, it is possible to bill only 10 minutes for travel time.

Support Coordination is an NDIS funded service that’s designed to help NDIS participants (and, if required, their family or representatives) to coordinate the support services in their NDIS Plan.
If you’re living with disability, your plan from the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) gives you a set allocation of funding for a range of different support services.
The support funding in your plan is very specific and relates to helping you to achieve your personal goals. This might include a range of services such as in-home support, social and community access or therapy sessions. Your NDIS plan will state if you are eligible for Support Coordination.
Support Coordination is designed to work with NDIS Participants to build and maintain a support network. This involves:
supporting you to understand your NDIS plan;
assisting you to have choice and control over your NDIS services and other supports;
assist to get you through any challenges that might come up with your support services; and
capacity building.
Over time, the Support Coordinator will help their Participant to build the skills (and confidence) to exercise the choice and control over the management of their Plan. It’s about aligning the Participant’s own goals to ensure the Support Coordinator empowers them with all that is possible.
Supports include informal, mainstream, community and funded support. This could be occupational therapy, social support, in-home support, job support, educational support, community engagement (to name a few).
Yes. There are three different types of Support Coordination.
Support Connection: to help connect you with NDIS funded and mainstream services
Coordination of Supports: to help coordinate your schedule
Specialist Support Coordination: available to those with additional support needs
The type of funding you receive will depend on your individual needs and will be outlined in your plan.
A Support Coordinator will help to connect you with all the individual services outlined in your plan.
Embrace Healthcare Support Coordinators are able to get the best out of your NDIS funding. We are experts in the disability sector which means we can provide recommendations tailored to your individual goals.
A Support Coordinator can:
determine each Participants needs and goals;
navigate the NDIS marketplace to find support services best suited to meeting their needs and goals;
communicate with support providers, to maximise the plan and its capabilities
build independence;
monitor and record progress;
prepare for a NDIS Plan Review; and
provide general support and encouragement.
No. A Support Coordinator’s role is to ‘translate’ your NDIS plan and to connect you with the people and services to achieve your goals.
A Plan Manager will organise payments, invoices and manages your budget.
Yes. Support Coordinators can help navigate this process. Before the meeting, Embrace Healthcare Support Coordinator can produce a Plan Review Report to outline the services arranged. This will include assessment reports to demonstrate progress during the Plan period as well as recommendations for future services. During the meeting, Embrace Healthcare Support Coordinator will support Participants and their representatives. Afterwards, they act as a point of contact for the NDIS.
An independent Support Coordinator is able to find the exact service to meet your individual needs and goals. At Embrace Healthcare Solutions, we are not bound by any particular services we must use. Our purpose is to match you to the best service to help you thrive. If something’s not working, we change it. We are flexible in our thinking and our approach to ensure you’re receiving exactly what you require at any given time.
Embrace Healthcare Solutions offers plan management, monitoring, and review to ensure your plan works for you and is continually updated as your goals change over time. If you are looking for comprehensive, personalised support for your NDIS plan, we are here to help. Our expert team will work closely with you to help you make the most of your NDIS plan, while also keeping track of how your expenses are being applied. We take the time to understand your goals and work with you to achieve them, giving you the support and empowerment you need to embrace independence.
Our NDIS plan management services include:
Managing and monitoring your NDIS Budget and Claims
Regular, detailed review of your plan to ensure that it is effectively supporting your goals
Regular communication to keep you informed and updated on your plan's progress
Tailored, goal-oriented planning and support to help you achieve your personal best.
Training to empower you to independently manage your plan and stay on track.
Our online customer portal gives you real time access to see how much funding you have available, and the invoices we have processed. You can also track your NDIS spending through monthly financial statements. Our plan managers can provide regular check-ins to ensure you are staying within your funded amounts and we’re just a phone call away if you need advice.
Think of a Plan Manager as your personal NDIS bookkeeper and guide. Plan Managers sort the invoicing hassle out for you, pay your service providers on your behalf, and help you budget your funding (your “plan”).
NDIS plan management is one of the ways that you can choose to manage your NDIS plan. You have choice and control over which providers you want to use, regardless of whether or not they are NDIS-registered.
Plan management will allow you to choose what you need to buy and which services you need to access, without having to process invoices yourself.
No. The NDIS fully pays for your Plan Manager in addition to your regular disability funding. The extra money you receive for plan management will not lower your budget for care and therapy.
If you are plan managed, an extra funding category will be added to your plan. This does not impact other areas of your NDIS funding and is free of charge for you.
It’s free of charge for you. The NDIS pays for your Plan Manager.
No. Under NDIS rules, every NDIS participant has the right to nominate a Plan Manager. You don’t need to explain why you need a Plan Manager and the NDIS cannot refuse your request for one.
A plan manager will help you along your NDIS journey by processing invoices, ensuring that providers are charging in accordance with NDIS guidelines and that you are spending within your budget.
A support coordinator will connect you to local providers, help you with your plan review process and submit requests to the NDIS for any changes or approvals you may need.
No. You have a full range of options with a plan manager and can choose to use registered and unregistered providers.
You can change plan managers at any point during your plan. You will need to notify your current plan manager and confirm your release date. Make sure you have another plan manager lined up to avoid delays in invoice payments.
You will be matched with a personalised plan manager. Your plan manager will contact you to introduce themselves and set you up on the Provider Choice dashboard. The dashboard will give you access to all invoices that we process for you, funding updates as well as some great free tools to help you along the way.

For you to receive nursing care services t funded under the NDIS your NDIS Plan must first include Capacity Building in it.
If you receive nursing care services that are not part of your NDIS Plan, then you will need to fund those services yourself or receive them through the State health care system.
The types of services that can be included in your plan are those that would contribute to your ability to live independently.
All NDIS funded nursing services must:
· be related to your disability
· contribute to your long-term wellbeing
· be delivered by a nurse and
· be limited in time.
The NDIS won’t fund nursing services that:
· can be funded under the state health care system
· are not directly related to your disability.
· are not required to be delivered by a qualified nurse
· are not considered ‘capacity-building’ that is, they don’t contribute to your independence or build up your skills towards independence
Diabetes is considered to be a disease rather than a disability and on its own does not qualify for NDIS funding. However, if you have lost limbs or suffer from blindness due to diabetes then you may be eligible to receive support through the NDIS.
If you have epilepsy you may be eligible for funding through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). This comes as a surprise to many people with epilepsy, as they often don’t consider their epilepsy to be a disability. However, a person with epilepsy may be eligible for support depending on the impact the epilepsy has had in the functional areas of life such as mobility, communication, social-interaction, learning, employability, ability to self-care and self-manage.

Occupational Therapists support people to live a more independent life. They can support your ability to perform everyday tasks in your home, improve access to your community, help you to explore housing or driving options or find out about technology that can assist you with mobility and access.
Occupational Therapy is a degree-based health profession, regulated by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Occupational Therapists use a whole person perspective to work with individuals, groups and communities to achieve optimal health and wellbeing through participation in the occupations of life.
The term ‘occupation’ is used to describe all the everyday things we do in our life roles, but also the things we do to be who we are, the things we do to create a meaningful life and to engage with wider society and culture.
Whatever you need, our Occupational Therapists will assess your situation and provide personalised services to help you do the things you want and need to do to, in the most effective way possible.
A Functional Capacity Assessment (sometimes referred to as a Functional Capacity Evaluation) is an independent assessment of your function, capacity and needs. Its purpose is to make sure you have the right level of support and funding to achieve your goals and needs.
Ability Action Australia clinicians are trained to conduct objective assessments, using standardised measures where required. We take into account your function, supports and daily living, vocational and community abilities, and goals and aspirations.
Functional Capacity Assessments include a face-to-face or telehealth component, communication with involved parties (to ensure consent) and a report that is provided to both you the participant, and the NDIA. The process assists with decision making for the type and level of funding and supports under an NDIS plan.
Psychosocial Recovery Coaching is an innovative approach to recovery that focuses on improving mental illness, physical health, self-confidence and self-esteem. By engaging with a certified Psychosocial Recovery Coach, individuals can obtain the guidance and support needed to design and implement their own customized plan for recovery. Through this process, detailed evaluation and assessment of individual needs are conducted to identify and manage any behaviours of concern while striving towards optimal functioning. This may include behavioural interventions, anger management or strategies for managing self-injurious behaviour. In addition, Psychosocial Recovery Coaches also provide assistance with the coordination of NDIS plans and other supports as well as training carers in effective behaviour management strategies. By leveraging the power of collaboration and creative problem-solving between coaches, carers and clients, we aim to create meaningful long-term change on a personal level that leads towards real life goals.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is designed to support people with disabilities. Its aim is to support them so they can increase their independence and fully participate in community and working life. People who meet the NDIS access criteria are known as NDIS participants.
Not everyone who has a mental health condition will have a psychosocial disability, which is the term used to describe a disability that might arise from a mental health issue. It can be severe, long term and impact their ability to recover and live life independently.. People who do have psychosocial disability may qualify for the NDIS.
It can be hard for someone with ADHD to meet the NDIS eligibility criteria for a severe and permanent disability.Therefore, the NDIS does not usually cover ADHD.
The NDIS does provide funding for persons with ASD. The autism spectrum disorder is the largest primary disability category for the NDIS. There are certain conditions that need to be met however, so not all individuals with autism spectrum disorder will be approved for NDIS funding.
A behaviour support plan is a document prepared in consultation with the person with disability, their family, carers, and other support people. It addresses the needs of a person who has been identified as having complex behaviours of concern.

Assistive technology (AT) refers to any type of equipment or device that helps people with disabilities with daily living activities. This can include seating, mobility, communication devices, and any other technology that helps people live more independently.

Our Occupational Therapist (OT) will collaborate with you to decide which Assistive Technology (AT) is best suited for you, your home, community, or work environment. Furthermore, our OT will assess potential struggles you are facing in terms of tasks, physical demands, and safety concerns. We will then recommend AT that will help you overcome these barriers to independence.
To ensure your AT item(s) are accurately assessed, we provide all necessary documentation and reports. Plus, if you're in need of financial aid for the assessment process, our team is here to support you throughout this journey and point you toward potential funding sources that may be available to you.
The amount of time it takes to receive your AT will depend on various factors, such as the risk levels of the items in question, the approval process needed, and their source.

What Is NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government-funded initiative that helps people with disabilities in Australia receive services and support. It provides much-needed financial assistance to those living with disabilities, so they can make choices about their lives and take part in activities they may not have been able to access before. The NDIS is designed to be an empowering platform that allows participants to manage their own supports and achieve their goals.
How Does the NDIS Work?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme works by giving eligible participants control over how their funding is used. Participants will be given a budget based on their needs, which can then be spent on different types of services and supports such as therapy, equipment, transport, or home modifications. This gives participants the freedom to choose the type of support that best suits them, allowing them to live more independent lives.
What can I Get from the NDIS?
The NDIS also has a number of different programs that provide additional support for specific needs such as employment, housing, recreation and leisure activities, or respite care. These programs are designed to help participants reach their goals and become more independent within their communities.
Am I Eligible?
To access the scheme, potential participants must first meet certain eligibility criteria. To be eligible for the NDIS scheme you must: be an Australian citizen or permanent resident; have a permanent disability; need help with everyday tasks; live in Australia; and be aged under 65 years old. Once you’ve been assessed as eligible for the scheme you will then need to develop an individualized plan outlining your goals and objectives for life under the scheme. This plan will need to be reviewed regularly so that it remains up-to-date with your changing needs and circumstances. You can also use the Eligibility checklist to determine if you potentially quality for the scheme.
How Do I Access NDIS?
If you meet the eligibility criteria you can ask to become a participant by completing an Access Request Form. If you are already receiving disability support services, the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) will contact you when it becomes available in your area.
The NDIS can be a life-changing initiative for people living with disabilities, creating chances to live a more independent life and make important progress when it comes to their personal goals. The NDIS provides a range of much-needed services and financial assistance, allowing those meeting the eligibility requirements to steer support in the direction that best meets their individual needs. This flexibility gives people greater choice and control over the lives, making for better outcomes overall. If you think you may qualify for NDIS funding, certified providers are on hand to help with assessing your eligibility and applying for funding as necessary. Don't hesitate - it could be the first step to an enhanced quality of life!
How is my NDIS plan developed?
Once the NDIS confirms you are an eligible participant, a planner will arrange to meet with you. Attending a planning meeting, either in person, or over the phone, is the best way for the NDIS to gather all your information to develop the best plan for you. During your planning meeting, make sure you discuss the goals/activities/tasks you want to achieve with your ECEI Coordinator, LAC or NDIA planner. They will undertake a full review of the supports and services you currently receive. Using the information discussed, your planner will develop a support plan that best meets your needs and goals. Embrace Healthcare would also welcome any opportunity to talk throughout the planning process to discuss your goals and potential support requirements.
How do I select my NDIS service provider?
When you have an approved NDIS plan, you need to understand the different budgets and who can help you start using your plan, and how your plan is managed. It is now up to you to choose what supports and services you feel you need to achieve your goals, who provides them and when and where they are delivered. When you’re working on your support plan, you can nominate Embrace Healthcare Solutions at any time as your service provider. Once your support plan and budget are approved, you then select your service provider. If Embrace Healthcare Solutions is selected, in accordance with the plan, we then develop and implement your “person centred” support plan working closely with you and your team.
