How Care Advocates Helps Filipino Families Navigate the NDIS in Geelong, Werribee, and Nearby Melbourne

Introduction

For many Filipino families living in Geelong, Werribee, and nearby parts of Melbourne, understanding the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can be overwhelming. Language barriers, cultural differences, and a lack of clear information often make it challenging to access the right support. That’s where Care Advocates comes in – we aim to empower Filipino families by making the NDIS simple, approachable, and tailored to their needs.

Understanding the NDIS

The NDIS provides funding and support to Australians living with disability, but the application and planning process can be confusing. Care Advocates helps families:

• Understand who is eligible for the NDIS.

• Prepare the right documents and evidence for applications.

• Create individual support plans that align with cultural values and family priorities.

• Connect with the best service providers in Geelong, Werribee, and surrounding suburbs.
