As an approved NDIS provider, Staying Independent can see clients who are self managed, plan managed or NDIA managed.
We offer a comprehensive occupational therapy service including:
- Assessments
- Reports
- Creating achievable goals for NDIS plans
- Equipment applications (low, mid, and high cost)
- Home modifications
- Personalised therapy plans
- Contacts and referrals with specialised occupational therapists as needed
We specialise in supporting NDIS clients with a psychosocial (mental health) or neurodiverse disability.
However, almost all our clients have overlapping disabilities. Such as a primary intellectual disability with a secondary physical disability.
Generally we see clients aged 12 to 65.
Aside from the services above, perhaps most importantly, we have insight and experience understanding how the NDIS works from initial planning, implementation, ongoing therapy and maintenance – which participants often find confusing and overwhelming.
Within occupational therapy as a profession there are no additional qualifications needed to work as an NDIS provider. This can make the quality of service very variable. Be sure you research when selecting a provider, and make sure you feel totally confident they understand your specific disability and your needs.
