DISABILITY
Supporting people with a disability to live life to the fullest with more independence and control .
Supporting people with a disability
Under the National Disability Insurance Scheme ( NDIS ), people with disability receive a plan of funded supports they can use to purchase services that support them to enjoy an improved quality of life .
Merri Health has delivered NDIS services since 2016 offering Early Childhood Early Intervention through MerriKids , Allied Health , and psychosocial support groups through the Healthy Mind Hub .
Despite significant efforts over many years , the complex pricing structure of the NDIS remained a critical challenge .
After seven years supporting NDIS clients , we made the difficult decision to stop delivering in 2023 , due to the ongoing challenges of making the program financially viable , whilst delivering high-quality services .
We worked closely with our clients to support their move to another NDIS provider of their choice .
We also supported staff to transition to new roles at Merri Health or other organisations .
We are proud of what we have achieved for people with disability who have accessed our NDIS services and remain committed to supporting people with a disability to live fulfilling and happy lives , and ensuring our services , spaces and communications are inclusive and accessible .
“ My family and I are so grateful for all the work and support that our MerriKids OT and Key Worker has provided my son and the family over the last 4 years . We are going to miss you so much . Our son has come a long way since we started together and will be forever grateful for everything you have done .”
