Dantae FAQ
We understand that choosing the right NDIS provider is a big decision; That’s why we’ve answered some of the most common questions about our services and supports. Our goal is to give you clarity, confidence, and reassurance—so you can focus on what matters most: living your best life.
Q:What Does the NDIS Actually Fund for Participants and Families?
A:The NDIS may fund supports that help participants live more independently, build skills, access personal care, join community activities, and work toward their goals. Funding depends on individual needs, goals, and what is considered reasonable and necessary under the NDIS.
Q:Who Is Eligible for the NDIS in Australia?
A:NDIS eligibility depends on factors such as age, residency, and whether a person has a permanent or significant disability that affects their daily life. If you are unsure whether you or a family member may qualify, it is important to understand the access criteria and what information may be needed during the process.
Q:How Do I Choose the Right NDIS Provider for My Family?
A:Choosing the right NDIS provider often comes down to trust, communication, flexibility, and whether the provider’s supports match the participant’s goals and daily needs. Families should look for a provider that offers person-centred support, clear communication, and a respectful approach to building long-term support relationships.
Q:What Is the Difference Between Personal Care and In-Home Support?
A:Personal Care usually focuses on direct assistance with everyday personal tasks such as showering, dressing, grooming, and meal-related support.
In-Home Support is broader and can include help with household routines such as cleaning, cooking, organising the home, and maintaining a safe and comfortable living environment.
Q:What Is the Difference Between SIL, SDA, STA and ILO?
A:SIL, SDA, STA, and ILO are all different types of NDIS home and living supports. SIL relates to daily support in a shared or individual home setting, SDA is specialised housing for people with very high support needs, STA is short-term accommodation including respite, and ILO is a more flexible living arrangement built around a participant’s personal lifestyle and support needs.
Q:What Is NDIS Community Participation and Why Is It Important?
A:Community Participation support helps participants take part in social, recreational, and community-based activities that build confidence, connection, and independence. It is about more than simply going out — it can support social skills, wellbeing, routine, and a greater sense of belonging in everyday life.
Q:What Is Supported Independent Living (SIL) and Who Is It For?
A:Supported Independent Living, or SIL, is an NDIS support that helps participants live as independently as possible while receiving regular assistance with daily tasks. SIL may suit people who need ongoing support in a shared or individual living arrangement and want to build confidence, routine, and independence in their home environment.
