Direct support cost: 

Extended Families is in the process of transitioning to the NDIS.  We will have two levels of support costs until the NDIS has fully rolled out across the North East Melbourne area. 

Support costs for participants with an NDIS plan or ISP will be based on NDIS pricing for ‘Group based community, social and recreational activities - week day’ at a 1:2 ratio. If you require a higher support ratio, please phone to discuss your support needs.  NDIS participants will be contacted to arrange a Service Agreement. Where applicable, participants with an ISP or no individualised funding will be sent an invoice after the event.

For participants who do not yet have individualised funding (NDIS plan or Individual Support Package ISP), we offer a subsidised rate of $15 per hour for direct support costs.  This is in addition to any activity costs. Note: People on Centrelink benefits who do not yet have individualised funding may talk to us about further possible subsidy.

Registration closes Friday 31st March 2017.  For further information contact recreation@extendedfamilies.org.au or call 9285 4839.
