Supporting Families Through the NDIS Journey

At Coastal Kids Allied Health, we proudly support families navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). If your child has a developmental delay or disability, the NDIS may provide funding for the support they need to reach their goals and participate more fully in everyday life.

Whether you’re just starting to learn about the NDIS or need help using your current plan, we’re here to make the process easier for you.
