Understanding the NDIS: 

Your Compassionate Guide
Navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can seem daunting, but you're not alone. At Tender Mercy Care, we're dedicated to providing you with the resources and support to understand and make the most of the NDIS. Our aim is to offer guidance that is as accessible and reassuring as the care we provide.

The NDIS is a government initiative designed to help Australians with a disability to live more independently and achieve their goals. It's about providing 'reasonable and necessary' supports to help you reach your full potential. Whether it's personal care, community participation, or health and well-being services, the NDIS is there to support your journey.
Understanding your NDIS plan is crucial to accessing the supports you need. Your plan will include information about your goals, the outcomes you wish to achieve, and the funding allocated for your supports. Here's how to make sense of it:
Know Your Goals:
Your NDIS plan is centred around your goals. These could range from improving daily living skills to gaining employment or enhancing social participation.
Understand Your Budget:
Your plan will outline the funds available for different types of supports. It's important to understand how these can be used to best meet your needs.
Choose Your Providers:
With your plan in hand, you can start to look for service providers, like Tender Mercy Care, who understand your goals and can offer the services you need.
Plan Management:
Decide how you want your funds to be managed. You can self-manage, use a plan manager, or have the NDIA manage your funds for you.

We acknowledge the Wadawurrung and the Dja Dja wurrung people, the traditional custodians of the land where we base ourselves, along with those who steward all the lands upon which we gather. God created these lands, the mountains, rivers and trees, and He has entrusted their care to the traditional custodians. We commit to and pray that we will show respect to elders past and present, that we will learn from them with humility and walk softly and gently on these lands.
