Each year, the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) reviews the prices of NDIS supports. As stated in our Service Agreement, DPV Health adjusts prices in line with these pricing reviews.

Please note that the NDIA also increases the funds available in each participant’s NDIS plan if the prices of their supports have changed. This ensures that the same number of hours are available for participants to use.

For current information on NDIS support prices, please see the NDIS Price guides and pricing.If you have any questions, please contact our NDIS Engagement Officers at info@auslife.com.au

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has a national approach to early childhood early intervention (ECEI) that gives children aged 0-6 years quick access to support that is tailored to their needs.
This support might be information, emotional support or referral to other services like community health services, playgroups or peer support groups. Your child might also get sessions with early childhood early intervention providers in the short term or medium term. This level of intervention might be all your child needs to reach their developmental goals.

If your child has longer-term support needs, your child might get an individualised NDIS support plan. This will help your child gain access to the appropriate supports over the long term.

The NDIS also supports children aged seven years and over, but the steps to support are different for children in this age group.

Once you have an NDIS plan in place, you can contact us directly to discuss your needs and goals. We will work with you to create a support plan and discuss how your NDIS funding can be utilised to access your required services.

Yes, our services are covered by NDIS funding for eligible participants. We can ensure that your plan has appropriately allocated funding for the services you need.
