Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) affects thousands of Australians each year, often disrupting daily routines, relationships, and a person’s sense of independence. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has become a powerful tool in transforming the lives of those with ABI by offering tailored support plans focused on rehabilitation, skill-building, and community integration. According to the NDIA’s comprehensive data, as of December 2020, over 14,000 participants had an approved NDIS plan with ABI as their primary disability. Notably, 93% of ABI applicants were found eligible under NDIS access criteria,
showing that the NDIS understands how serious and long-lasting the effects of ABI can be.
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) support under the NDIS is designed to empower participants with services that promote rehabilitation, community inclusion, and self- confidence. Registered NDIS service providers play crucial role in helping participants with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) to access these support and services that significantly improve their quality of life. An experienced NDIS service provider will work closely with each participant, their families, and allied health professionals to develop a person-centred plan that addresses both short-term needs and long-term aspirations. Whether it’s daily personal care, therapy co-ordination, assistance with communication aids, or community engagement, every service should align with the participant’s goals and NDIS plan. ABI recovery is not linear. That’s why the support workers should be trained to adapt to the changing needs of the participants, providing a stable and understanding presence in their daily life. ABI participants may also require assistance with NDIS plan implementation and review, to make sure funding is used effectively to achieve real outcomes.
