What impact will the NDIS have on the way TADSA provides its service?

As a Tier 3 service provider in the NDIS funding environment, TADSA will not receive State Government funding in the future.

Under the NDIS, TADSA will continue to provide the same unique service but there will be changes in the way we charge for this.

The scheme does not cover everyone and we will still rely on the generosity of our supporters to continue to provide our services.

TADSA has achieved certificate level of the Australian Service Excellence Standards (ASES), an internationally accredited quality improvement program overseen by the Department for Communities and Social Inclusion (DCSI).  At this level, organisations are described as “operating confidently and efficiently, actively apply sound management principles and meet legislative, industry and government guidelines”.

The benefits to you are:
