NDIS Information
Understanding the NDIS
Looking for support through the NDIS? The National Disability Insurance Scheme provides funding to eligible people with permanent and significant disability to access supports that help them pursue their goals, build skills and participate in everyday life.
At Bundaberg Community Supports, we work with participants to understand the support they're looking for and discuss how we may be able to help.
A little about the NDIS
The NDIS is an Australian Government scheme that provides funding to eligible people with disability to access reasonable and necessary supports.
Every participant has different goals, circumstances and funding arrangements. The supports available depend on their individual plan and NDIS funding.
You can learn more through the official NDIS website.
Making your NDIS plan work for you
Depending on your plan, goals and available funding, BCS may be able to provide support with:
- Everyday activities and routines
- Assistance at home
- Accessing the community
- Attending appointments and activities
- Participating in group and outdoor activities
- Developing everyday skills and confidence
We'll discuss your circumstances and the supports you're looking for before confirming whether we can assist.

How can my NDIS funding be used?
NDIS funding is allocated according to a participant's individual plan and support needs.
Depending on your plan, funding may be managed in different ways:
NDIA-managed
The NDIA manages payments to registered providers.
Plan-managed
A plan manager helps manage invoices and payments.
Self-managed
You manage payments to providers yourself.
The way your funding is managed can affect which providers you can use. We'll discuss your arrangements when you enquire.
