FAQ

Common Questions

Can Carer Education be funded through the NDIS?

Yes — carer education and training can be funded through the participant's NDIS plan under specific circumstances, particularly where it directly supports the participant's goals. Speak with your plan manager or LAC about how to include it in your plan.

What kind of respite is available for carers?

We provide both planned respite (regular scheduled breaks) and emergency respite when carers need urgent time away. We can also help connect families with residential respite options through other services.

My family member was just diagnosed — where do we start?

Start by calling us. We understand how overwhelming a new diagnosis can be, and we can help you understand what supports are available, how to apply for the NDIS if you haven't already, and what to expect in the journey ahead.
