Partners In Recovery South Western Sydney is supporting PIR consumers to transition to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (also called the NDIS).
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is the new way of providing disability support so that people can enjoy an ordinary life. The NDIS recognises that everyone’s needs and goals are different.
Assist with testing eligibility and applying for NDIS support.
Provide support coordination to people with an NDIS support plan.
Provide PIR support to people who are ineligible or not interested in NDIS supports.
The NDIS is the new way of providing support to people with a psychosocial disability and works to have a positive impact on your everyday life. It will provide opportunities in the community and certainty of funding for supports, and give people more choice and control over how supports are provided.
It is designed to be flexible and to meet each participant’s individual needs. We know mental health difficulties can be characterised by variations in intensity. Your NDIS plan will account for these changes by providing a flexible budget to increase and decrease supports as necessary.
