NDIS Frequently Asked Questions - Central Coast

We've compiled answers to the most common questions about our NDIS services on the Central Coast. If you can't find what you're looking for, please don't hesitate to contact our friendly Support team.

What type of NDIS funding can I use for Community Support services?

You can access our Community Support services at Funlab Therapy through the following NDIS funding categories:

  • Increased social and community participation (Capacity Building)
  • Assistance with social and community participation (Core Supports)

How do I determine if I'm eligible for Supported Independent Living (SIL)?

Eligibility for SIL funding is determined by the NDIA based on their 'reasonable and necessary supports' criteria. To qualify for SIL funding, you need to:

  • Provide documentation showing you require 24/7 support services. This requires submitting a Functional Assessment Report (FAR) completed by a qualified allied health professional
  • Submit an Identifying Housing Solutions report through your support coordinator

What costs are covered under SIL funding?

The amount of SIL funding you receive depends on your assessed level of care requirements. It's important to understand that SIL funding only covers support services and does not include:

  • Everyday living expenses such as groceries or transportation costs
  • Rental payments for your SIL accommodation
  • Any items that are covered under other sections of the NDIS price guide

Can I use my NDIS funding for In-Home Support services?

Yes, you can access our In-Home Support services through your NDIS plan by utilizing your Core Supports funding. These services are designed to help you maintain independence in your own home while receiving the support you need.

What's the difference between registered and non-registered NDIS providers?

Registered NDIS providers like Funlab Therapy differ from non-registered providers in several important ways:

  • We undergo regular independent audits to maintain our registration status and ensure quality service delivery
  • All of our staff members complete comprehensive screening processes, including mandatory criminal history checks
  • We have formal procedures in place for addressing any complaints or concerns you may have about our services

Choosing a registered provider gives you additional peace of mind and protection as a participant.

How do I know if I'm eligible for NDIS funding?

To be eligible for NDIS funding, you need to meet the following criteria:

  • Be under 65 years of age when you first apply
  • Be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa
  • Have a permanent and significant disability that substantially impacts your ability to perform everyday activities

Our team can help guide you through the application process and connect you with resources to determine your eligibility.
