What is the NDIS?
The NDIS scheme that was created with the aim is to provide people with disabilities a more personalised level of care assistance and to enhance each participant’s ability to select the support they want, whom they work with and at times that are most suited to them. The care industry is a really personal area of expertise, it is important that the people receiving the care provided are comfortable and at ease through any particular meeting or event, the providers will ensure that the most suitable candidate is chosen to help your person in need.
An individual plan will be provided to each participant in the NDIS, detailing the types of support they get, and the participant is then free to choose them from the NDIS provider. Trusted disability service providers are registered to provide a wide range of support services in some cases they have been in operation for nearly 50 years across Tasmania. The most well-established providers now deliver offices in Burnie, Devonport and Launceston across the north of Tasmania and can provide the entire range of services in each location.
