IUIH is a registered National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) service provider. IUIH’s Disability Services provides a comprehensive range of core and capacity-building supports. Our services include support coordination, plan management, allied health, assistance with daily living (personal care and household tasks), social/community participation, and transport.
As a registered NDIS service provider, we are dedicated to enhancing the lives of our clients and community by offering support that aligns with their choices and needs. Our goal is to empower individuals to access services and supports that improve their quality of life.
One of the key funding areas provided by the NDIS is for a support coordinator to help you understand your plan and connect you to services and programs that enhance your health and well-being. Your support coordinator works closely with you and your family to identify the services you want and need. They will find appropriate services that match your requirements, provide multiple options to choose from, and help you connect with those services.
The NDIS provides funding for capacity building to improve daily activities. If you are seeking support from an allied health professional to enhance your everyday life, our specialist disability allied health professionals are here to assist you. We offer a range of services, including Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Physiotherapy, Podiatry, Dietetics, and Exercise Physiology. Our allied health team are here to support you in your well-being.
This program is for Indigenous people (0-49) with a disability, chronic illness, mental health, or other condition that impacts daily living or participation in the community and who aren’t eligible for NDIS or Aged Care support. IUIH is funded to deliver QCSS services across its South East Queensland footprint.
IUIH provides support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from birth to 65 years old living in South East Queensland with navigating the NDIS application process. IUIH has two Access Pathways—Aboriginal Disability Liaison Officers (ADLO) and Early Childhood Approach Access Officers (ECA Access Officers)—to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with disabilities.
ADLOs and ECA Access Officers work locally to ensure the NDIS has a positive impact for people with a disability and their communities. For children aged 0-9 with a developmental delay or disability, and their families, IUIH has partnered with the Benevolent Society to support delivery of the Early Childhood Approach.
The Early Childhood Approach helps families and carers of children younger than 6 years with developmental delays and concerns or younger than 9 years with a disability get the right support when they need it. Through this partnership, IUIH has a team of coordinators who work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families to navigate early support for children who have delays in their development or disability. Our team works to ensure that NDIS supports, including early connections, early supports, eligibility and access, and funded supports, are more culturally appropriate and align with our community’s needs.
