We are an approved NDIS provider in Goodna, we offer a range of NDIS support services from support coordination, plan management to community participation.
What is NDIS?
Founded in 2013, the National Disability Insurance scheme is an insurance support scheme of the Australian Government. To be eligible for NDIS supports your disability needs to be permanent (not likely to change with time) and have a significant impact on your ability to take part in everyday activities.
Service providers of the NDIS, like The Base, work with the client to help them achieve their short and long term goals. Here at The Base we provide services such as managing your NDIS plan, coordinating your supports and many more.

What about people with mental health disabilities?
Some people living with mental illness may be eligible for NDIS supports. People with psychosocial disability are supported through the NDIS using the Recovery Framework. It is intended to support and enhance the self-determination of people living with psychosocial disability. There are certain criteria that people with psychosocial disability must meet.
What is Support Co-ordination?
Knowing where to go for supports and choosing the right supports can be time-consuming and confusing for both the participant and the family/carers of people living with disability. Engaging with a support co-ordinator assists you to understand and implement the funded supports in your NDIS plan and link you in with the supports best suited to you. Individuals are given support to choose the supports that are best suited to them. Support Co-ordinators will also check in with you to ensure the supports you are receiving are working for you. Support Co-ordinators will ensure that you are getting the best value for money and work with you to ensure your funding is adequate for your needs.
What is Plan Management?
Plan Management assists and supports someone with NDIS to manage their funding. Plan Managers disperse funds to services that are providing support, monitor your NDIS budget, provide regular statements regarding your usage of funds and advise when funds are overused or underused. The management of your NDIS funding can be either managed by the NDIA, Self-managed (by you or someone you nominate) or Plan Managed by a service provider. Here at The Base Support Services we employ a dedicated and experienced Plan Manager to manage your NDIS funds.
