The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) represents a significant shift in how disability services are delivered, moving away from a generalised model to one that is more individualised and responsive to the needs of each participant. Central to the NDIS is the concept of person-centred care, which aligns with the scheme’s goal of providing tailored support that empowers people with disabilities to live their lives with dignity, independence, and control. Unlike traditional models of care, which often adopt a one-size-fits-all mentality, person-centred care recognises that each person is unique, with their own goals, values, and
desires.
One of the foundational principles of the NDIS is giving participants more choice and control over their support. Person-centred care embodies this by involving participants in every aspect of their care planning and delivery. Under the NDIS, individuals can choose
their service providers, set their own goals, and direct how their funding is used. This empowerment fosters a sense of ownership and independence, enabling participants to live more fulfilling lives. Person-centred care is also linked to better health outcomes. When individuals are actively involved in their care, they are more likely to adhere to support plans, participate in activities that promote their well-being, and communicate openly with their support teams. The NDIS’s commitment to person-centred care includes the flexibility to adapt services as participants’ needs change over time. This could be due to life transitions, changes in health status, or shifts in personal goals. The scheme’s structure allows for regular review and adjustment of support plans, ensuring that participants continue to receive the most appropriate and effective care.
For Classy Life person-centred care is not just a method it’s a philosophy that define the way we approach disability services. As a registered NDIS service provider, we believe that the best care is one that sees the person first, with all their strengths, challenges, and dreams. Person-centred care is integral to our mission to provide participants with choice and control over the support and services they receive. It not only enhances the effectiveness of our services but also reinforces the dignity and autonomy of every participant.
