NDIS
National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
Learn all you need to know about the National Disability Insurance
Scheme (NDIS) to help improve your quality of life.
The NDIS provides funding to eligible people with disability to gain more time with family and friends, greater independence, access to new skills, jobs, or volunteering in their community, and an improved quality of life. The NDIA (National Disability Insurance Agency) implements the NDIS and provides NDIS participants with funding to purchase supports and services that will help them pursue their goals.
The Australian Government provides funding for the NDIS program and they may provide meal supports in your NDIS plan. If meal preparation supports is included in your plan, the NDIS will specify the amount in your core supports.
Meals on Wheels Central Coast is a registered NDIS provider, therefore we are able to provide meals to agency managed, plan-managed and self-managed participants. A charge will be made against your NDIS plan for the preparation and delivery of your meals. You are responsible for the cost of your meal ingredients as the NDIS does not cover this. You can relax knowing this cost is set out in our NDIS menu.
