NDIS

The NDIS provides Australians under the age of 65 with a permanent and significant disability with the reasonable and necessary support they need to enjoy an ordinary life. Under the National Disability Insurance Scheme, families and carers will have access to the help they need to support people with disability so they can participate in a life filled with community and employment opportunities.

Helping NDIS participants build their independence is paramount at IMPACT Community Services. We want every one of our participants to experience the best life has to offer throughout their IMPACT journey. By providing opportunities through individual or group support, we encourage participants to be independent, participate in the community and build life skills.

FAQS: Your NDIS questions answered

Our support services promote choice and control and are tailored to suit your specific needs. Our aim is to help you engage with your community and educational activities, to build your independence and overall confidence. IMPACT support staff work closely with you and your family, carers and supporters for the ideal outcome. Our programs are governed under the NDIS quality safeguards.
