NDIS Funding Options
Our NDIS-approved coaching programs are interest-driven, evidence-based and provide great value for money. CRANK is focussed on delivering on NDIS goals in three unique ways:
- Holistic change – We work hard to build social, independence, work and life-long learning capacities
- Personalised supports – Coaching experiences are flexibly designed to achieve individual NDIS goals in a way that manages personal barriers
- Flexible delivery – Our programs are hybrid and can be accessed online (in the home), face-to-face or with a mix of both.
Using your NDIS Support Budgets
CRANK is funded using Core and Capacity Building budgets under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). As a registered provider, we are equipped to handle complex clients with NDIA, Plan and Self Managed plans and budgets. Navigating the NDIS can be complicated and budgets are often wasted while not achieving goals.
Talk with our team and we’ll help reduce any confusion so you can maximise your budgets and achieve your NDIS goals.
