We are not registered as an NDIS service provider, however many of our participants and artists are using NDIS funding to access our program.  Those who are self managing their NDIS package, or those who have a Plan Manager can use NDIS funding to attend our program.  There are several places in your NDIS funding package you can use your money from including Core Supports.

Crossroad Arts workshops and programs can:

  • Support people with disability to pursue their goals and maximise their independence.

  • Support people with disability to live independently and to be included in the community as fully participating citizens.

  • Develop and support the capacity of people with disability to undertake activities that enable them to participate in the mainstream community and in employment.

  • Assist participants to improve their health and wellbeing.

  • Assist participants to develop their social skills for participation in community and social activity. 

  • Build a participants relationship skills and offer a range of activities and opportunities to explore wider interests.

At present, Crossroad Arts services may be claimed for self-managed and plan managed NDIS funds.

FUNDING CATEGORIES

CORE, CAPACITY BUILDING AND CAPITAL

NDIS funding falls under three major categories: Core, capacity building and capital.

The NDIS Categories under which Crossroad Arts can provide services are:

  CORE SUPPORTS (04-Assistance with social and community participation) Group-based community, social and recreational activities

 Core supports covers:

  • Social, community and economic participation: Getting involved with groups and activities that help you connect with other people and build your skills in areas you’re interested in. For example, this funding could cover a Crossroad Arts art program!

  • Transport: Support getting to and from school, work, or social and community activities, such as a community-based art program. Funding for transport is generally limited to people who cannot use public transport for reasons related to their disability.

NDIS AND AUSLAN

The NDIS provides support for participants with hearing loss or who are Deaf to access interpreting and translation services in activities of daily life. This can include the provision of Auslan interpreting for medical appointments and community participation, e.g. art classes.

The NDIA is working to ensure NDIS plans include appropriate allocations for interpreting and translation supports.

If you require itemised invoices for workshop fees to help you when making your claim, please don’t hesitate to contact Autumn Skuthorpe or Lesa Walker on admin@crossroadarts.com.au.

We will do our best to help, however specific questions about NDIS are best directed to your case manager or NDIS directly on 1800 800 110.
