What VICNA includes – and what it does not include

Personal care activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting.
Domestic tasks including light cleaning, laundry, and meal preparation.
Medication reminders and basic health monitoring.
Respite care for carers.
Assistance with community access and social participation.

Funding, planning and price limits

Funding for VICNA’s home care services comes from the participant’s NDIS plan. VICNA will bill the NDIS directly using the agreed service agreement. The costs are capped by the latest NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits, which set maximum prices for each support type. These limits are reviewed annually and ensure that participants receive consistent and transparent pricing.

When planning your budget, consider:

The number of support hours required per week.
Any additional services that may need separate budgeting.
Potential changes to your plan that could affect the support category.

VICNA offers a planning tool that helps you estimate costs and match them to your budget. Discuss any adjustments with your plan manager to avoid unexpected expenses.

Steps to request and activate VICNA as your provider

Check your plan. Verify that your NDIS plan includes a home and community support category and that the hours available match your needs.
Contact VICNA. Call VICNA’s Rosebud office or use the online contact form to express interest. Provide your NDIS number and plan details.
Submit a service agreement. VICNA will send a draft agreement outlining the support types, hours, and pricing. Review it carefully.
Sign the agreement. Sign electronically or print and return the signed document. VICNA will then register you as a participant.
Schedule initial assessment. A VICNA support worker will conduct a home assessment to finalise the support plan and confirm any additional needs.
Activate services. Once the assessment is complete and the agreement is finalised, VICNA will begin delivering services on the agreed schedule.

Throughout the process, keep copies of all correspondence and documents. If you encounter any delays, contact VICNA’s support coordinator for assistance.
