NDIS Cerebral Palsy Support

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a lifelong condition that affects posture, movement, and coordination. At Independent Ability Care, we understand the unique challenges faced by people living with cerebral palsy, and we are dedicated to providing tailored, person-centred support through the NDIS cerebral palsy program.

With around 17,000 active participants living with cerebral palsy on the NDIS, the Scheme plays a vital role in helping children and adults increase independence, improve quality of life, and participate fully in their communities. Our experienced cerebral palsy support workers and support coordinators work alongside you and your family to create a personalised plan that meets your individual needs.

The NDIS provides funding and services designed specifically to assist people with cerebral palsy to live fulfilling and independent lives. Cerebral palsy NDIS support covers a wide range of areas, from daily living assistance and therapy to equipment and community participation. Read More

People with cerebral palsy often require supports that address physical, communication, and social challenges. Through funding, the NDIS helps participants break down barriers, build skills, and increase their independence and control.

What Supports Are Available for Cerebral Palsy Under the NDIS?

The NDIS funds a broad spectrum of supports for participants with cerebral palsy, including:

1. Cerebral Palsy Support Workers

Our support workers assist with daily living tasks such as personal care, meal preparation, mobility support, and household activities. These workers provide vital help that increases independence and enables participants to live as autonomously as possible.

2. Therapies and Clinical Supports

Many participants benefit from funded therapy services, including:

  • Physiotherapy to improve movement and balance
  • Occupational therapy for daily living skills and adaptive techniques
  • Speech therapy to assist with communication
  • Psychological services for mental health and emotional well-being
3. Assistive Technology and Equipment

The NDIS can fund equipment that supports mobility and independence, such as wheelchairs, communication devices, seating systems, and home modifications.

4. Community Participation

Support to help participants engage in community, cultural, or recreational activities are an important part of the NDIS. This can include support workers accompanying participants to social groups, clubs, or religious services.

5. Capacity Building

Funding for capacity building focuses on developing skills and confidence to perform tasks independently, including:

  • Learning self-care and life skills
  • Developing communication and social skills
  • Preparing for education or employment

Impact of NDIS Support for People with Cerebral Palsy

According to recent NDIS data:

  • 80% of participants aged 15 and over with cerebral palsy report increased choice and control due to NDIS support.
  • 52% are actively involved in community, cultural, or religious groups, marking an 11 percentage point increase over time.
  • 73% of families of school-aged children report their child has become more independent since joining the NDIS.

These improvements demonstrate the positive impact that tailored support services and funding have on the lives of people with cerebral palsy.

How Much Funding Can I Expect for Cerebral Palsy Support?

The level of funding a participant receives depends on their individual needs, goals, and functional capacity. As of mid-2025, data shows that participants with cerebral palsy receive a varied range of funding reflecting the diversity of support required.

Funding categories usually include:

  • Core Supports: Assistance with daily activities and participation
  • Capacity Building: Skill development and independence
  • Capital Supports: Equipment and home modifications

The NDIS continually reviews and adjusts funding levels to ensure they meet participants’ evolving needs. It’s important to note that funding amounts can vary significantly between participants depending on individual circumstances.

I heard about IAC from a friend who was happy with the services provided. So I called them up, talked to the team and since then, IAC have been very helpful for my son’s NDIS plan needs. Our NDIS support worker at IAC assisted me through the plan review and helped me gather the right evidence. Everything was completed in a timely manner. Now, my son’s NDIS plan includes services and the therapies that he requires. I feel satisfied and pleased that my son can finally access what he needs now, and I appreciate IAC.
