What is NDIS?

The NDIS is the National Disability Insurance Scheme, a nation-wide program designed to support Australians living with lifelong or significant disabilities.


To learn more about eligibility, visit the official NDIS website for a breakdown of the application process. If your disability or disorder is holding you back from full-time work or day-to-day functionality, you may be eligible for a funding plan.

The scheme provides funding to support the needs of disabled individuals, allowing them to purchase aids and services that will improve their quality of life. The individual is able to personalise their NDIS plan, controlling from who, when and how they receive support. An NDIS participant may use their funding for:
 

  • Transport
  • Daily living support
  • Workplace support
  • Physical or mental therapeutic help
  • Home or vehicle modifications
  • Training
     

At EPA Health, our exercise physiologists accept NDIS funding to work with eligible individuals to improve their physical health, mobility and mental wellbeing. Simply include our services in your NDIS plan and we can get to work supporting you to live your life to the fullest.
