Whether you have an NDIS plan or are thinking of applying for the NDIS, our quick guide gives you all the information you need to make it easy.
About Our NDIS Services
We know that your disability doesn’t define you. You’re a unique person with your own interests, relationships and aspirations. Our job is to provide the support you need to develop your skills, explore your interests, and live as independently as possible.
Focused Health Care is a registered National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provider, meaning we meet government safety and quality standards for providing services to people with a disability. We’re based in Brisbane and Townsville but we provide services to clients across Queensland.
You can access our services as a private client or by using your NDIS funding. This page explains how to become an NDIS participant and explains the services we provide.

Plan Management
Learn more about how our Plan Management Team work with you
Plan Management
Our Plan Management Team helps you get the most out of your NDIS funding. You can include ‘plan management’ or ‘improved life choices’ service in your plan at no extra charge.
NDIS participants who use a plan manager to manage their NDIS plan can choose to use both NDIS registered providers and non-registered providers for their supports and services.
Plan management is a partnership approach to your NDIS plan. You and your plan manager play different roles to ensure you gain the most benefits (and the least hassle) from your NDIS funding.
Your Focused Health Care plan manager will take care of the financial side of your NDIS plan such as:
- Claiming from the NDIA
- Paying providers
- Processing your expenses
- Providing you with a monthly statement.
You retain choice and control over your NDIS plan. That means:
- Choice over the services you purchase, who provides them and how much you pay for them
- Control over when and how those services are delivered.
Support Coordination
Understand how we implement your plan & connect you with the community
Support Coordination
Focused Health Care’s support coordination service helps you to understand and implement your plan, linking you to community, mainstream and government services.
Your support coordinator helps you to build the skills needed to manage your plan. We help you increase your ability to exercise choice and control, coordinate your supports and participate in your local community.
