The Village is NOT an NDIS registered provider.  WHY NOT? We want to keep access to the Village unrestricted to benefit all vulnerable people in all places, not just NDIS participants.

For NDIS participants you can only contribute to the Village with your NDIS funding if your NDIS plan is Plan Managed or Self Managed. 

• Self-managed NDIS participants can make their own contribution to the Village and an invoice will be made available.   The participant then manually claims back the funds using the NDIS portal.  
• Plan Managed NDIS participants  The plan manager makes the contribution to the Village on behalf of the participant and requests an invoice.  The plan manager then manually claims back the funds using the NDIS portal.
• NDIS/Agency managed NDIS participants cannot use NDIS funding for the Village and other non NDIS providers.  If you make a contribution then this is an out of pocket expense.

The more contributions we receive, the more capacity building health and wellbeing support we can provide to marginalised people in regional and remote areas of Australia and the world.

• You will require access to the internet and a smartphone or computer to access the Village website.  You can only sign up online to access the videos on the Village platform.
• If you require support to access or complete the video activities on the Village website we recommend you contact your current support worker(s), service provider, Coordinator of Supports (COS) or Local Area Coordinator (LAC).  Unfortunately, the Village and Healthy Change Challenge does not have the resources to individually support people all over Australia.
