Therapy - NDIS
For Australian residents living in Australia, they can receive NDIS occupational therapy services through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). NDIS was set up in 2013 to provide community-based care that supports individuals with disabilities to gain much needed assistance to live an ordinary life. Whether it’s a physical (mobility, self-care), sensory or mental (cognitive) health issue, occupational therapists work with those who need help to be independent.
Before anyone can access any NDIS services, they need to engage with an NDIS planner who will determine what type of disability support package best suits their needs. Once enrolled, they will be able to start receiving occupational therapy under their plan, which will include both individual assistance sessions and group-based activities to help build on any skills or education opportunities that are relevant to improving the participants life overall.
The Occupational Therapy and Animal Assisted Therapy sessions offered at Pleasant Sense Farm are available for self-managed or plan-managed participants who have Core or Capacity Building in their NDIS plan.
