At Tailored Support Services on the Sunshine Coast, we provide comprehensive NDIS plan management along with an array of other services to help our clients live fulfilling lives. But we also realise that it takes more than a single provider to fulfil all the needs of NDIS participants. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of other resources we think will help.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

There are around 4.3 million Australians who have a disability. Within the next five years, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will provide more than $22 billion in funding a year to an estimated 500,000 Australians who have permanent and significant disability. For many people, it will be the first time they receive the disability support they need. The NDIS provides support to eligible people with intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive and psychosocial disability. Early intervention supports can also be provided for eligible people with disability or children with developmental delay.

The Board Meeting​

The Board Meeting

The Board Meeting was started by a group of surfers looking to help Sunshine Coast kids with disabilities through a variety of surf-related events. Run completely by a dedicated group of volunteers and supported by the local business and surfing communities, the charity raises much-needed funds for families who have fallen through the cracks of Government support, are doing it extremely tough financially and have children with needs those of us with healthy kids could hardly fathom.

EVERY DOLLAR WE MAKE GOES TO THE KIDS.
