Ubuntu provides disability support services under the following NDIS categories

If you meet the eligibility criteria, you can apply for the NDIS by completing an Access Request Form. More details can be found on the NDIS application page​.

To be eligible for the NDIS, there are three main criteria a person must meet:

1. Age: You must be under 65 years of age when you first apply for the NDIS.
2. Residency: You must live in Australia and be an Australian citizen, hold a Permanent Visa, or a Protected Special Category Visa.
3. Disability requirements: You must have a permanent disability that significantly affects your ability to take part in everyday activities, or a developmental delay.

You can find out more about the eligibility criteria here​.

The NDIS planning process is a collaborative effort between the participant and the NDIA. Once you are deemed eligible, a plan will be created which outlines your supports and services that will be funded through the NDIS. This plan is tailored to your individual needs and goals, and includes three types of budgets: Core, Capacity Building, and Capital. You can learn more about the planning process here​​.

Service agreements are contracts between an NDIS participant and a service provider, like Ubuntu Service. They outline the type of supports provided, the cost of those supports, and how and when supports will be delivered. Service agreements are important as they ensure both parties understand their rights and responsibilities. You can manage your service agreements through the myplace portal​.

One of the key differences is Ubuntu Service's commitment to consistency. Clients will always have the same support team, which fosters a sense of familiarity and trust. Additionally, Ubuntu Service stands out because of our team's clinical experience, providing a level of expertise and understanding that greatly benefits our clients and their families.

We understand the power of consistency and the importance of building strong relationships between participants and their support teams. Therefore, they aim to ensure participants continue to work with the same support team throughout all the stages of your life.
