Starting your NDIS personal care journey with Regal
If you have a current NDIS Plan, please contact Regal to make an enquiry to begin your NDIS personal care journey.
Once we have received your enquiry, you will be sent a form to complete detailing your NDIS personal care needs. Once Regal has received your form, you will be assigned a designated Disability Coordinator. Your Disability Coordinator will work with you, your family and/or your Support Coordinator to better understand your support needs and NDIS personal care budget.
From here, your Disability Coordinator will work with you to co-design a bespoke Support Plan tailored to you within your funding allocation. We start by discussing your goals and preferences and then structuring your week accordingly.
The Disability Coordinator will work with you to understand your personal care preferences including staffing, preferred service times, dietary preferences, weekly schedule and more. Once agreed upon, your Disability Coordinator will work with the Regal Scheduling Team to design your NDIS funded personal care roster.
Regal will coordinate any specific training for our team of Support Workers and Nurses to promote the delivery of high-quality disability personal care services tailored to you, including training on the Support Plan. The individual Support Plan is regularly reviewed to ensure that our NDIS personal care services are aligned with your established goals.
If you do not currently have an NDIS Plan, please visit our Private Care page or read our FAQ’s.
