We understand that your goals are as unique as you are. That’s why we partner with you to create a personalised plan that reflects your needs, your choices, and your aspirations. Our dedicated team will support and champion every step of the way on your journey.

What is the NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a national program that provides funding and support to Australians aged 18 to 65 with a permanent and significant disability. The NDIS empowers participants to live a better life by offering access to:

More time with family and friends
Greater independence
Skill development
Employment or volunteering opportunities
Increased participation in community life

How does the NDIS work?

If you’re eligible, the NDIS provides funding for a wide range of supports tailored to your individual needs. At CatholicCare Sydney, our Integritas Allied Health Services and Disability Services teams work closely with NDIS participants to deliver the support you need to live life your way.

How to apply?

Complete the NDISAccess Request Form
Begin your journey by submitting the official form through the NDIS website or by contacting the NDIS directly.
Attend your planning meeting
Once your application is approved, you'll be invited to a planning meeting to create your personalised NDIS plan. This plan outlines the types of support and funding available to you.
Choose your service providers
With your plan in place, you can access services—like those offered by CatholicCare Sydney—to help you build skills, gain independence, and achieve your goals.

Your NDIS plan can be reviewed regularly or when your circumstances change. Our Support Coordinators are here to guide you through these reviews and ensure your plan continues to meet your needs.

Capacity Building budget

The Capacity Building funding is allocated across eight support sub-categories, each matched with the goals in your plan. You can choose how to spend these funds to purchase any approved individual support within its category but won’t be able to move funding from one category to another. Categories include:

Choice and control in training and plan management
Daily activities e.g. therapies aimed at building your capacity to participate
Employment-related assessment and counselling
Health and wellbeing advice in relation to the impact of disability
Home living support to obtain or retain appropriate accommodation
Lifelong learning e.g. assistance moving from school to further education
Relationships e.g. positive behavioural support strategies to reduce behaviours of concern
