  Choosing the Right Living Option: Difference Between ILO and SIL Support One of the primary goals of the  National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)  is to help people with disabilities to live independently and build their capacity to take care of themselves and become active members of their community. Having a place to call home with suitable living arrangements is an important step towards achieving that goal. There are mainly two types of living options that the NDIS can fund:  Individualised Living Options (ILO)  (ILO) and  Supported Independent Living (SIL). . There are certain fundamental differences between these two funded living options that should be discussed as part of your NDIS planning. The primary difference is that  Individualised Living Option (ILO)  is designed around a single person while  Supported Independent Living (SIL)  can be availed of even if you live alone or if you live with other NDIS participants.

  Caring for Your Carers: Respite Supports and Services for NDIS Participants Taking care of  people with disabilities  is a job that requires immense patience and responsibility on the part of their carers and family members. The majority of the time, it is a family member who is providing crucial care for differently-abled individuals instead of paid support workers. While they may be the biggest cheerleaders for their loved ones with disabilities, often these carers don’t ever receive a break from their responsibilities. In such circumstances, NDIS participants can make use of their funds to enable respite support for themselves which in turn will provide their carers with a short break from duties. NDIS Respite support care  involves short to medium-term stay away from home that will allow the NDIS participants to take a break from their daily routine and allow their carers to avoid burnout. This support involves the option to increase the social interaction of d...

  The   National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)   is a government-funded social reform that changed the face of disability care in Australia forever. However, getting access to the scheme for people with severe mental health problems has always been a tough battle. In 2017,Guardian Australia reported at least 16 cases where the prospective participants with decades- long histories of schizophrenia, major depressive disorders, bipolar and severe anxiety were denied access to the scheme. Since then several efforts have been made to refine the system. The introduction of  Psychosocial recovery coaches  as a support item points to the fact that NDIS has acknowledged the problem and started making active efforts towards improving the support provided for participants with  psychosocial disabilities . A  recovery coach  is an NDIS funded support worker who has mental health knowledge. Some  recovery coaches  have lived experience of mental...

Disability care can be particularly challenging if the client exhibits difficult behaviours and struggles with mental stress. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides behavioural support for NDIS participants who have been identified as displaying difficult behaviour. NDIS Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)  is an evidence-based practice that focuses on addressing the root cause of behavioural problems instead of resorting to temporary fixes. PBS is a framework to understand why certain behaviours of concern get the needs of a person met and then find a more appropriate way for that to happen. This includes identifying the triggers, modification of their current environment and educating the primar...
