What Is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funds support and services for Australians with permanent and significant disability. Instead of a one-size-fits-all system, the NDIS gives each participant a personalised plan based on their goals, whether that is living more independently, getting out in the community, or building new skills.
Your plan is yours. You choose your providers, your supports, and how your funding is used.
Who Is Eligible for NDIS Support?
To access NDIS funding, you generally need to:
- Be under 65 years old when you apply
- Be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa
- Have a permanent and significant disability that affects your daily life
Not sure if you qualify? Our team can walk you through the eligibility check and help with your access request at no cost. Get in touch and we will point you in the right direction.
What Can Your NDIS Plan Fund?
Your NDIS plan can cover a wide range of supports, including:
- Daily living: personal care, meal preparation and household tasks through in-home support
- Community access: social outings, group activities and skill building through community access support
- Supported Independent Living: ongoing support in your own home, up to 24/7
- Transport to appointments, work or social events
- Capacity building to develop life skills and independence
Every plan is different. We help you understand what is available and make sure your funding goes where it matters most. If you want to see what your hours could look like in dollars, our online quote builder uses the current NDIS price limits for South Australia.

NDIS Questions We Hear Most
Straight answers from a local team that works with the NDIS every day.
How do I know if I'm eligible for NDIS support?
You will generally need to be under 65, an Australian citizen or permanent resident, and living with a permanent and significant disability that affects your daily life. Our team can help you check for free. Just get in touch.
Can I switch to Vana Care from another NDIS provider?
Yes, and it is your right. You can change providers at any time. We handle the transition so there is no gap in your support. Lots of our clients switched from other providers and say they wish they had done it sooner.
What if my needs change after my plan is set?
NDIS plans are reviewed regularly. If something changes before your next review, we can help you request an early plan reassessment so your funding matches your current needs.
Do I need a referral to use Vana Care?
No referral needed. If you have an active NDIS plan, contact us directly. If you do not have a plan yet, we can point you in the right direction to get started.
What NDIS funding categories cover Vana Care services?
Our services typically fall under Core Supports (Assistance with Daily Living and Assistance with Social and Community Participation) and potentially Capacity Building. We can help you understand which parts of your plan apply.
