The NDIS and you

Everyone has the right to live a rich and fulfilling life that is not defined by disability — a life where you’re free to make your own decisions, however big or small. NDIS is short for the National Disability Insurance Scheme. The NDIS is your opportunity to do exactly that. It opens up a whole new world of possibilities and gives you the freedom to shape your own future like never before.

 

With UnitingCare coverage across South-East Queensland, Townsville and Toowoomba, we’re ready to work with you to make the most of this new system, so that you can discover more to life than you ever thought possible.

 



UnitingCare is a registered NDIS provider

This means we meet the high standards required by the NDIA and can deliver services and supports to people who have their plan managed by the NDIA, as well as those who self-manage or use a third party. View our NDIS price list.
