Approved NDIS provider

As an approved NDIS provider, Staying Independent supports participants across all three management groups:

• Self-Managed
• Plan-Managed
• NDIA-Managed

We specialise in working with clients across three primary disabilities: Neurodivergent, Intellectual, and Psychosocial, often addressing the overlapping challenges that arise across the groups.

We understand the NDIS

We understand how confusing and overwhelming the NDIS system can feel. We get it. Through experience we have a very good understand how to best approach application, a plan review, how to write a report, and troubleshooting when funding is running low or providers change.

Finding the Right OT for You

In occupational therapy, no additional qualifications are required to work with NDIS participants. This can lead to significant variation in the quality of assessment, report and therapy provision.

It is essential to take the time to find an OT that understands your disability. In the same way we see specialist doctors for a particular problem, the same principle applies to OT. This can make a huge difference in your plan, funding, and access to services if the therapist knows how to assess, write, report, and prescribe a plan for your disability.
