NDIS Registered Service Provider Sydney

Royal Rehab has been delivering high quality services for people living with disability, their families and carers for more than 120 years. We offer a range of NDIS funded services and can help you navigate the NDIS and maximise your plan.

What is the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

The NDIS supports people living with disability by providing information and referrals, assistance to access community services and activities, personal plans and other supports over a lifetime.

The NDIS will provide you with more choice and control over how, when and where your supports are provided and provide certainty you will receive the support you need over your lifetime.

NDIS Community Connectors will work with you to identify supports you need to live your life. Supports may help you achieve goals in many aspects of your life including independence, involvement in the community, education, employment, health and wellbeing

We will be able to assist you with the following NDIS support categories across Sydney:

Assistance with daily life at home and in the community, education and at work
Specialist Disability Accommodation
Supported independent living
Improved daily living skills
Increased social and community participation
Improved learning
Improved life choices
Community disability services

Benefit from our NDIS funded services

NDIS Disability support services and accommodation (SIL & SDA):

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA): We offer SDA-registered properties that are uniquely designed to improve liveability and accessibility across Sydney. Many of our properties have dedicated and specialised support staff and are purpose-built with house modifications, a robust and secure environment and placed in an optimal location for your convenience.

Supported independent living (SIL): We offer more than 30 accommodation homes across Sydney which provide assistance with personal care, household tasks, overnight support, assistance with complex medical needs, positive behaviour support and clinical support for people with a wide range of disabilities.

Respite services and short-term stays: We offer respite and short-term stays within our disability homes for those who are undergoing a transitional period e.g. moving regions or between programs and providers. We are also partnered with Sargood on Collaroy – a world-first resort overlooking Collaroy Beach in the heart of the Northern Beaches. This purpose-built resort gives people with a spinal cord injury and their families a chance to refresh, learn and reconnect.

In-home drop-in support: In the comfort of your own home we offer drop-in services for assistance with personal care, household tasks, overnight support, assistance with complex medical needs, positive behaviour support and clinical support for people with a wide range of disabilities across Sydney.

Support coordination: We can help you to get the most out of your plan and connect you with the right support services.

Clinical Rehabilitation Service:

Clinical therapies: We offer the full range of clinical therapies such as: occupational therapy, physiotherapy, case management, speech pathology, recreational therapy, clinical horticultural therapy, social work, dietetics, nursing, clinical psychology and neuropsychology. These therapies can be provided at Royal Rehab, in the comfort of your own home or a community setting.

Adaptive sport, recreation and leisure service: We will work with you to develop an individualised program to get you active and to try adaptive sport, recreation and leisure services with our qualified recreational therapists. From cycling and tennis, to fishing and beach access— there’s something for everyone.

Driver Assessment and Training Service: This service is run by our driver trained occupational therapists who support people with disabilities or illnesses to commence or return to driving. You can trial a range of car modifications and our team will work with you to assess, advise and offer support through all the necessary steps toward independent driving.

NDIS FAQs

You need to meet the following requirements to access the NDIS:

1. You have a permanent and significant disability that affects your ability to take part in everyday activities.
2. You must be less than 65 years old when you first access the scheme.
3. You are an Australian citizen, a permanent resident or a New Zealand citizen who holds a Protected Special Category Visa.
4. You need to live in an area where the NDIS is available.

Check if you are eligible to become and NDIS participant.

1. Firstly, you need to submit an Access Request Form. You can either make contact with the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) by phone (1800 800 110) or obtain an Access Request Form through the NDIS website.
2. Complete the Access Request Form in full, including all relevant information relating to your disability. You may need to ask multiple clinicians and medical practitioners to fill out parts of the form, and provide appropriate, recent reports for you to submit with your application.
3. Return the completed form and supporting documents to the NDIA.
4. The NDIA will determine whether they have enough evidence to support your application. You will receive a letter to let you know whether you have met the necessary criteria to access the NDIS or if you need to provide additional information.
5. If you have met the criteria, you need to start collecting documentation and evidence about your day-to-day support needs. If you are working with allied health therapists, or are supported by professionals in any of your day-to-day activities, they should be able to assist you by providing reports. Be sure to think about all aspects of your day-to-day care needs, including accessing the community, employment, hobbies and any equipment needed for daily activities. The documentation you provide will be used in discussions at your planning meeting.
6. You will be contacted by either an NDIA Planner or a Local Area Coordinator (LAC) to arrange a planning meeting in your local area. After the meeting, a final plan will be sent to you outlining your funded supports.

Local Area Coordinators (LAC) work for our NDIS partners in the community to assist people with a disability. They have three key functions:

They engage with local organisations and communities, including other government services, to build awareness of disability and improve opportunities for people with a disability to access and actively participate in community activities.
They work directly with individuals with a disability and their families, to improve capabilities, access information and support in the community, build community networks and access mainstream services, such as health and education.
They are usually the main point of contact for NDIS participants. They work with participants (aged seven years and older) to develop, implement, monitor and review their plan and provide ongoing support to assist them to achieve their goals.

We assist with the following NDIS support categories:

Personal care and support coordination: assistance with daily life at home, in the community, during education and at work.
Supported independent living: we offer supported accommodation and drop-in supports.
Improved daily living skills: our team of allied professionals can help you learn new techniques and skills.
Increased social and community participation: we help you access the community and facilitate group activity sessions, for example sports activities, with qualified recreational therapists.
Improved health and wellbeing: we provide dietetics and help you to make healthy lifestyle choices.
Improved learning: Our In-Voc Program provides assistance with career exploration and planning, skill and knowledge development, return to work support, assistive technology and job-seeking skills.
Improved life choices: we can assist you with your NDIS planning.
