National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
The NDIS is designed to support Australians living with a disability. Through this framework, eligible people with a physical, intellectual, cognitive or psychosocial disability are able to access the services they need to maintain and improve their skills and independence.
Podiatry Life Burwood is proudly a registered NDIS provider. This means we are able to support the over 500,000 Australians currently living with a disability and receiving NDIS funding. We provide quality podiatry services in a warm, professional and non-threatening environment.
We accept NDIS participants who are: self-managed, nominee-managed, plan-managed, NDIA managed (sometimes called agency managed).
Our NDIS Registration Groups:
- Custom prosthetics – assistive technology.
- Therapeutic supports – improved daily living skills.
