Navigating the NDIS. Funding for Personal Alarms
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a game-changer for Australians with disabilities. It’s designed to provide funding for essential supports that improve independence and quality of life, including assistive technologies like personal alarms. If you’re looking to use this valuable resource, this article will help you understand the scheme and how LiveLife Alarms can make the process simple and stress-free.
What is the NDIS?
The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) is an Australian Government program aimed at supporting people with permanent and significant disabilities. Its mission is to provide funding for tailored supports that enhance independence, safety, and overall quality of life. This funding can cover a wide range of services and equipment, including our personal alarms.
Who is Eligible?
Not everyone qualifies for the NDIS, so it’s important to know if you meet the eligibility criteria:
- Age: You must be under 65 years of age when applying.
- Residency: You need to be an Australian citizen, a permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa.
- Disability: Your disability must be permanent and significantly impact your ability to carry out daily activities.
If you’re unsure about your eligibility, the NDIS website offers a quick eligibility checklist, or you can contact their team for assistance at 1800 800 110.
How to Apply for NDIS Funding
Getting started with the NDIS is easier than you might think. Here’s a simple breakdown:
- Assess Your Eligibility For A Personal Alarm:
Start by visiting the NDIS website or calling their helpline. You’ll need to provide information about your age, residency, and the impact of your disability. - Create a Plan:
Once you’re approved, you’ll work with an NDIS planner to develop a personalised plan. This plan outlines your goals and the support you need to achieve them. If staying safe and independent is a priority, be sure to include personal alarms as part of your assistive technology requirements. - Submit Your Plan:
After finalising your plan, submit it for approval. Once your funding is granted, you’re ready to purchase the supports and services included in your plan.
