HCA is proud to be an approved NDIS provider
The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) makes decisions about whether someone is eligible to become an NDIS participant. If someone is deemed eligible, the NDIA will then decide how much funding they will receive.
The NDIS covers and provides support for a wide range of disabilities.
To apply to the NDIS, the first thing to do is check if you meet the eligibility requirements.
A NDIS plan outlines your goals and the supports that may help you achieve those goals while living your life as independently as possible.
There are three different ways to manage your NDIS funding.
NDIS funding is designed to cover the reasonable and necessary supports you need to manage your disability and work towards your goals.
The NDIS funds a variety of supports and services that can include personal care, mobility aids, therapy, home modifications, and help with community participation.
To switch NDIS providers, you must locate your service agreement then follow 3-step simple steps.

When you have a NDIS plan you will need to decide who manages your supports and payments.
You may choose to manage it yourself, have the NDIA manage on your behalf or you may pay a third party to manage this for you – they’re called plan managers.
It’s important to understand that the NDIA determines the type of plan management for participants during the assessment stage rather than you selecting.
Self-managed NDIS plans give you the most control. You will be responsible for directly managing your funds, which in turn means greater flexibility to choose your provider/s of choice.
Freedom to choose any service provider.
Flexibility in how you use your budget as long as they are in line with your plan.
Freedom to negotiate pricing and services.
Self-managing requires good organisational skills to handle all the paperwork and financial reporting.
You will have the responsibility of ensuring all your supports and services are consistent with NDIS policies.
Managing your NDIS plan obligations will require extra time and effort.
Plan-management involves engaging a Plan Manager who is funded through your NDIS plan. They will handle all the financial administration so you can focus on services that matter to you and living your life.
This type of plan is a good middle ground between Self-Management and NDIA-Management – Flexibility and control over the most important aspects of your NDIS plan while having someone else handle all the administrative work
Access to both registered and non-registered NDIS service providers.
Relief from financial administration responsibilities.
Plan Manager provides extra support in tracking funds and expenses.
You are still an active participant in the decision-making process.
It’s important to choose an experienced and reliable Plan Manager.
Plan Managers can offer advice, but making final decisions is ultimately up to you.
NDIA-management is where the NDIS manages your funding and takes care of all the financial administrative responsibilities, such as budgeting and transactions. In addition to the NDIS looking after your funding, only registered NDIS service providers are available through this type of plan.
Minimal administrative burden and stress on you.
The NDIS will take care of all your financial paperwork and administration
Assurance of using NDIS service providers who are registered and vetted.
