Key NDIS Supports Available for People Living in Lake Macquarie

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was created to provide Australians with permanent and significant disabilities the support they need to live a more independent life. For residents of Lake Macquarie, the NDIS offers a wide variety of support categories designed to suit individual goals, lifestyles, and needs.

In this guide, we break down the key types of supports funded by the NDIS and how EnableU helps Lake Macquarie locals access them effectively.

Understanding the Three NDIS Support Budget Categories

Your NDIS plan is divided into three budget categories. Each category supports different aspects of your daily life, development, and wellbeing:

• Core Supports – Everyday support to help you with daily tasks and living expenses



• Capacity Building Supports – Helps you develop skills, independence, and long-term growth



• Capital Supports – Funds for assistive technology and home modifications

1. Core Supports in Lake Macquarie

Core supports are the most flexible category of your NDIS plan. They allow you to:

• Receive help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and cooking



• Participate in your local community through social groups and events



• Access transport services to medical appointments, therapy, or day programs

EnableU provides personal care assistants, support workers, and transport options that align with your schedule and preferences.

2. Capacity Building Supports for Long-Term Development

This budget helps you become more independent and confident. Services include:

• Support Coordination to help you make the most of your plan



• Occupational Therapy to improve mobility and perform daily tasks



• Physiotherapy for rehabilitation, strength, and fall prevention



• Psychosocial Recovery Coaching for mental health support



• Skill Development in areas like budgeting, cooking, or communication

3. Capital Supports for Equipment and Modifications

If you require equipment to enhance your independence or need to adapt your home for accessibility, this budget covers:

• Wheelchairs, walkers, and other mobility aids



• Home modifications like ramps, grab rails, and accessible bathrooms
