Review funding options
Every case is unique. StGiles can help you identify the services to meet your needs and the best funding option available for your situation.
Funding options include:
- Medicare plans
- Private health
- NDIS
- Self-funded: you can pay the full fee without any funding
Discuss which option best suits your needs
NDIS Support Coordination
If you are eligible for the NDIS, it may take several months for your funding and Plan to be approved. StGiles can assist you with NDIS plan co-ordination and management (including some or all of the funding including financial, legal and administrative requirements).
NDIS Service Provider
Once you have an approved NDIS Plan, it is up to you to choose a Disability Service Provider(s). StGiles offers an extensive range of services for both adults and children living with disability. Our services can be tailored to meeting individual needs, delivered individually or as a package, and can change as your needs evolve.
Choosing to work exclusively with StGiles as your service provider has the following benefits:
- 80 years of trusted service and experience
- Ability to provide all the services you need, as well as a coordinated approach
- Increased ease of communication between therapists and sharing of outcomes
- Services available in the North, North-West and South of the state, with the ability to deliver services in your home or school also
If you do choose to split your services over different providers, please consider the following:
- Ensure the provider uses evidence-based practices
- Be clear and upfront with your service providers that you are splitting your services, and that you will require them to communicate regularly (this may incur additional charges for you) in order to coordinate therapies.
