WANGARANG AND NDIS
GET REGISTERED AND JOIN US
Wangarang in Orange is a not-for-profit registered National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provider. You need to be an NDIS participant to join us and have employment support as an item in your NDIS plan. If you are registered with the NDIS but do not have employment support on your plan, please contact us for assistance.
WHAT IS THE NDIS?
The NDIS provides support for people with permanent and significant disabilities, their family and carers. The NDIS provides an individualised, flexible and whole-person approach to support to help participants achieve their life goals. NDIS also gives participants more choice around the supports they receive and greater access to a variety of services to meet individual needs and goals.
WHO CAN ACCESS THE NDIS?
The NDIS was developed for people with a permanent and significant disability which impacts on their daily activities. There are other eligibility criteria to access NDIS such as receiving the DSP. For more information on eligibility please use the NDIS Access Check List.
WHAT SUPPORTS WILL WANGARANG INDUSTRIES PROVIDE UNDER NDIS?
Supports that Wangarang is registered to provide NDIS participants:
- Supported employment.
- Social support.
- Life skills and recreational programs.
HOW CAN WANGARANG INDUSTRIES HELP?
Wangarang can provide you with information and support to help you access the NDIS and put you in contact with your local National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) office. Wangarang can meet with you and explain the services we provide under the NDIS.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I AM ELIGIBLE FOR NDIS?
Once you are deemed eligible for the NDIS, the planning and assessment process will start. You will meet with a planner who will work with you to develop a plan of support to help you achieve your goals.
You can have a parent, friend or advocate with you to make sure you get the support you need and want in your plan. If one of your goals is employment, make sure you tell your NDIS planner so it can be included in your plan and you can access the right employment service for you.
For further information on how Wangarang can help you take control of your future by making the most of your NDIS plan, please get in touch.
