The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding from the Australian government to support people living with permanent and significant disability. This funding is used to help people living with disability take part in everyday activities, as well as build skills and capability so they can participate in the community.
UnitingSA makes navigating the NDIS easy. As a registered NDIS provider, we provide you with support every step of the way and help you make the most out of your NDIS plan.
We have a range of supports available and our compassionate, experienced and committed workers will help you achieve your goals, your way.
NDIS Support Coordination – to understand and help you get the most out of your plan. Our NDIS Support Coordinators help communicate with the NDIS, manage your budgets, connect you with providers and strengthen your support networks to achieve your personal goals.
NDIS Recovery Coach – similar to an NDIS Support Coordinator, however with specific mental health knowledge through training or lived experience. They can help assist you to strengthen your support networks and spend time with you and those important to you.
Employment Supports assist you to gain new skills to have the confidence to seek, and maintain, employment. We can provide tailored support to identify your goals, access study or training and make a positive transition to the workforce.
Individual Supports can support you to fulfill everyday activities and offer the support required to achieve your goals. This may be through helping you to access your community through social activities, group activities or by helping with daily living skills.
School Leaver Employment Support (SLES) helps school leavers with a disability to build the confidence and skills to help find, and keep, a job that’s best for you and your goals. If you have SLES funding in your plan, we can support you.

Here’s what our participants have to say about our NDIS team:
"I am very happy with how the trip to Adelaide went (for a medical appointment) and am extremely thankful that UnitingSA and Cory were able to assist and support me to go, as I would not have gone without Cory there to support me."
"Being on the NDIS has changed my life. I’m now attending group activities each Friday. The atmosphere in the group is electrifying and I like meeting new people there. I really like my support worker and we get along really well."

A Support Coordinator and Recovery Coach will work with you to manage your NDIS plan, connecting you to supports to be a part of your community and help you live a more independent life with your goals in mind. However, a Recovery Coach will have specific knowledge in the area of mental health and may also have lived experience with understanding the path to recovery.
UnitingSA relies on the generosity of donors to help deliver innovative programs and support for people in need across metropolitan and regional South Australia.
“I was in such a dark place for years and my mental health issues meant I couldn’t see anything straight. With the help of my support worker, I started to feel comfortable in my own skin and now I am even working again. I will always remember how I recovered with the help I received through UnitingSA.”
