The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
The NDIS helps eligible people under 65 with a permanent and significant disability. ‘Significant’ means the disability affects how people live every day and includes physical, intellectual, sensory, cognitive and psychosocial disabilities. ‘Permanent’ means the disability will not go away.
As an occupational therapist, I address goals towards increased opportunity to participate in activities of daily living (ADLs) such as domestic or community aspects, and I am a specialist in sexuality and intimacy.
