The NDIS funds the services and supports for people who are living with a mental health challenge that has a significant impact on their daily life, also known as psychosocial disability.
It supports them with the services they require to live the life they want and deserve.
If you live with a longstanding and severe mental health challenge, HelpingMinds may be able to assist you in achieving your goals through the NDIS. It may be as simple as giving you some company, helping you budget your daily expenses, or as big as encouraging you through your most challenging days.
We can support you on your journey, by guiding you through every stage of the NDIS process, including the application paperwork and gathering supporting evidence of your mental health challenge.
In the words of one of our participants . . .
“HelpingMinds has helped turn my scars into stars”
What and for who
The NDIS, or National Disability Insurance Scheme, is implemented by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). If you are eligible for the NDIS you will receive an individualised plan funded through the NDIA.
It is the Government’s new way of providing a range of support to Australian citizens and residents under the age of 65 who have a disability.
If you think you or your loved one may be eligible please get in touch and we can guide you through the application form.
