Starting your NDIS domestic services journey with Regal
If you have a current NDIS Plan, please contact Regal to make an enquiry to begin your NDIS domestic support journey.
Once we have received your enquiry, you will be sent a form to complete detailing your domestic support needs. Once Regal has received your form, you will be assigned a designated Disability Coordinator. Your Disability Coordinator will work with you and/or your Support Coordinator to better understand your and NDIS domestic services budget. From there, they will work with you to develop a roster of your NDIS funded domestic support that meets your budgetary requirements. Your domestic services may be detailed in your wider home care Support Plan if you utilise Regal for more than 1 NDIS service. We start by discussing your goals and preferences and then structuring your week accordingly.
The Disability Coordinator will work with you to understand your preferences including staffing, service times, dietary preferences, weekly schedule and more. Once agreed upon, your Disability Coordinator will work with the Regal Scheduling Team to implement your NDIS domestic services roster.
If you do not currently have an NDIS Plan, please visit our Private Care page or read our FAQ’s.
