Common Questions

Am I eligible for NDIS funding?

To be eligible for the NDIS, you generally need to be under 65, live in Australia, be an Australian citizen or permanent resident, and have a permanent disability that significantly affects your everyday life. If you’re unsure, we can help you understand whether the NDIS is right for you and guide you through the first steps.

What services are available on the NDIS?

There are many services available. Let's determine your needs and we can discuss the right plan for you.

What does NDIS funding actually cover?

NDIS funding is designed to support your independence, daily living, and participation in the community. This may include personal care, support coordination, therapies, assistive technology, and community access, depending on your individual needs and goals. We will work that out together.

I feel overwhelmed by the NDIS. Can Lara & James support me?

Yes. Many people come to Lara & James feeling confused, stressed, or unsure where to start. Their role is to reduce that overwhelm by guiding you step by step, explaining things in plain language, and helping you make informed choices so you feel supported, confident, and never alone.

What makes Lara & James different from other NDIS providers?

Lara leads with care, consistency, and genuine advocacy. She doesn’t rush, overcomplicate, or treat you like a number. She builds real relationships, listens deeply, and stands beside you, ensuring your voice is heard and your plan truly supports your life. James has senior management experience and therefore understands people and how to care for them. Together they make the perfect reliable solution to your NDIS needs.

Can someone help me manage and understand my NDIS plan?

Yes and this support can make a huge difference. Support Coordination helps you make sense of your plan, choose the right services, and adjust things when life changes. Our role is to reduce stress, provide clarity, and ensure your plan works for you, not the other way around.
