What is funded?
TADWA can provide Goods, Equipment and Assistive Technology and Home Modification services through Commonwealth Home Support Program funding. This means that if you need a piece of equipment such as a shower chair or monitoring pendant, we can help you find and purchase it. Funding can also be available if you need to modify your kitchen, bathroom or other areas of your home.
Who is it for?
CHSP is an entry level program for people over the age of 65 (over 50 for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders).
How can I get this funding?
To find out if you are eligible for CHSP and to be assessed for funding for Goods, Equipment and Assistive Technology or Home Modifications, contact My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 or go online to www.myagedcare.gov.au
What is funded?
TADWA services can be purchased with funds from your Home Care Package. For example, funds from your home care package could be used to fund equipment, home modifications, computer support, mobility support or custom solutions and much more. A Home Care Package is an allocation of funding which helps you purchase services and support to remain at home. If you have a HCP, you will work with a Service Coordinator at the organisation you have chosen to provide services to you. Working together, you can decide what types of services TADWA offers which may be right for you.
Who is it for?
Home Care Packages are for people who need more help than would be available through the CHSP. HCPs come in four levels (1-4) depending on how much help you need at home.
How can I get this funding?
To be eligible for a HCP, you must have an assessment by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). The ACAT determines whether or not you are eligible and at what level. To find out if you are eligible for a HCP, contact My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 or go online to www.myagedcare.gov.au
What is funded?
TADWA’s services and equipment can be funded through the NDIS. We are a registered NDIS provider. The NDIS is a government funding model that provides people with disability the opportunity to say what they need and who will provide it. It encompasses all elements of their life, such as everyday living, sport, work and education.
The NDIS is a person-centred approach meaning you have a say as to what resources, products and services you need.
You and an NDIS Planner agree on the support, services and equipment needed and a budget is allocated for the purchases of the items in your plan. The NDIS website has valuable information.
Who is it for?
NDIS funding is for people aged 64 and younger with a permanent and significant disability to access reasonable and necessary supports they need to live their lives.
How can I get this funding?
To find out if you can access the NDIS, the first step is to contact the NDIS on 1800 800 110 or go the website at www.ndis.gov.au
The NDIS is rolling out across Western Australia on a scheduled basis. Depending on where you live in Western Australia you may have access to NDIS or may be transferring from the state disability system to the NDIS.
