The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government-funded program that supports eligible Australians with permanent and significant disabilities. It provides funding for supports that help people live independently, achieve their goals, and participate in their community.
At Benevida Services, we support people to understand the NDIS and use their plan in a way that reflects choice, dignity, and what matters most to them.
Depending on your individual plan, NDIS funding may support:
The NDIS is based on choice and control, meaning participants decide what supports they receive and who provides them.
You may be eligible for the NDIS if you are under 65 years of age when you apply, are an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or Protected Special Category Visa holder, and have a permanent and significant disability that affects daily activities or community participation.
People with a psychosocial disability related to a mental health condition may be eligible for the NDIS if it results in long-term functional impairment. Eligibility is based on how the condition affects daily functioning, rather than diagnosis alone.
Eligibility decisions are made by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).
We are a registered NDIS provider. Our supports are delivered in line with the NDIS Practice Standards and focus on person-centred, respectful, and flexible support. Our team is trained, experienced, and dedicated to delivering reliable and high-quality care, ensuring every participant receives safe, respectful, and consistent support tailored to their individual needs.
Our fees and charges are aligned with the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits, and we update these in line with any changes made by the NDIS. NDIS pricing can be complex. If you would like help understanding pricing or how it applies to your supports, our team is happy to talk this through with you. The most up-to-date pricing information is available in the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits published by the NDIA.
We supports participants, families, carers, and professionals to understand NDIS eligibility, access the application process, and connect with supports aligned to individual goals and needs. We work collaboratively with families, carers, support coordinators, and other professionals — always with the participant’s consent, choice, and decision-making at the centre.
Mental illness refers to a diagnosed health condition. A psychosocial disability refers to the functional impact that condition has on a person’s daily life, which is what the NDIS considers when assessing eligibility.
