Indigo is here to help support on your disability journey
You don’t have to navigate your disability alone. Indigo’s caring occupational therapists and physiotherapists are here to help you reach your goals at your own pace—whether that means maintaining independence, staying connected to your community, or making your home work better for you. We’re proud to have supported thousands of Australians living with disabilities with compassion, empathy, and personalised care.
Supporting you to live life
Living a more independent and connected life isn't just about your body. At Indigo, we’re here to help you feel safe, comfortable, and confident in your own home. Our Home Modification assessments are designed around your unique needs, whether that means adding rails, ramps, or other thoughtful accessibility features to support your independence. We also draw on the largest Assistive Technology database in Australia, with over 25,000 products that give you practical solutions to make everyday life easier and more manageable for you.
How to Access Indigo's Disability Support Services
Understanding how to access the support you need is an important first step in living an independent and comfortable life in your own home.
The below information is suitable for users who are funding their care through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). If you are funding your care through an alternate scheme or self-funding, please Contact Us to find out the most appropriate steps for you
Step 1: Apply to be a participant in the NDIS
The first step on your journey will be to apply for funding under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). More information can be found on their website, but this process can be started by checking your eligibility or getting in touch with a local area coordinator. Some options to apply for the NDIS yourself include:
- Visiting your local area coordinator or early childhood partner. They will speak to you about the evidence we need and help you complete your application
- Downloading and completing an NDIS Access Request Form alongside Supporting Information.
- Visit an NDIS office and ask for a copy of the NDIS Access Request Form. They can print it out for you, and you can then send it via email or mail.
Step 2: Create your NDIS Support Plan
Once you’ve been approved as an NDIS participant, organising your NDIS plan is important for understanding not only the supports you need and funding the NDIS will give you, but your goals and how the NDIS will support you in reaching them. These goals may include:
- Being more active in the community
- Future work or study opportunities
- Doing day-to-day tasks easier
- And living a more comfortable, independent life
An NDIA Coordinator or Local Area Coordinator are able to help you start this Plan and assist you in understanding the support available to you. Once this plan has been approved, you’ll receive access to your funding and can start finding the best service.
Step 3: Accessing Indigo’s Services
Once your plan is received, you can find the right service providers for your needs. Indigo offers support for NDIS participants who need:
- Assistive Technology
- Occupational Therapy
- Functional Capacity Assessments
- Home Modification Assessments
- Personal Support Plans
- Mobility/Transfer Plans
- Training Support Workers & Carers
Our friendly team have helped thousands of NDIS participants and Support Coordinators across Perth to access the most appropriate assistive technology to support their needs. We are passionate about working in partnership with you and understanding how best to achieve your goals, be it better managing tasks at home, communication, learning or being more active in the community.
Step 4: Ongoing Support
If you have previously received support from Indigo but find your needs have changed and you need additional support, you are able to request a plan reassessment at any time through the NDIS. This review will ask questions about what worked well in the past, what didn’t work well and what could be improved to better support you.
