Assistance with Social and Community Participation

With you for Life. 

Windsor Health provides high quality supported independent living services, helping people to achieve a better life.

• Our qualified staff are skilled at working in partnership with residents in shared housing and the important people in their lives; both one-to-one and in group settings. 
• We help build personal skills and confidence so you can live independently, while fostering a positive sense of community at the residence.
• We will work with you to build the life you want and to fulfill your NDIS plan goals. 

Supported Independent Living residents with NDIS packages that fund assistance with daily living typically choose help with:

• decision making, daily planning and budgeting
• building skills for shopping and cooking for healthy eating
• written communication and filling in forms
• learning to maintain a household with tasks such as laundry and cleaning
• developing and maintaining connections with family and friends
• and for some; getting ready for the day and other personal care tasks. 
• Every resident has their own tailored program of support.

If you or a loved one are currently receiving support from Disability Services you will be contacted approximately 6 months prior to the NDIS being available in your area. This usually involves either a face-to-face or  over-the-phone access request and the transition is usually quite simple.

If you or your loved one are not currently receiving support from Disability Services, you could still be eligible for NDIS assistance. Simply call NDIA to make an access request on 1800 800 110.

Eligibility criteria for the NDIS includes:

• You must be under the age of 65 at the time of your application
• You must be an Australian citizen, permanent resident or visa holder
• You must meet the disability criteria under the NDIS scheme
  If you are unsure if you meet the disability criteria you can check this by:
• Accessing the NDIS disability checklist: www.ndis.gov.au/ndis-accesschecklist.html
• Call the NDIA on 1800 800 110

You can choose to continue receiving NDIS assistance or you can transition to the aged care system.
