Eligibility
There are no restrictions, although all of our services attract a fee. We welcome the opportunity to discuss how IDS can help you live the life you want.
Fees
The fees you pay depend on the services and support you select and reflect those allocated by the funding agency (NDIS, WorkSafe or TAC). We will negotiate an individual agreement, tailored to meet your unique needs. There are no hidden charges, and we offer an easy to follow approval and payment process, with monthly statements.
