What is the National Disability Insurance Scheme?
There are around 4.3 million Australians who have a disability. Within the next five years the NDIS will provide an estimated 500,000 Australians who have permanent and significant disability with funding for supports and services. For many people, it will be the first time they receive the disability support they need.
Yumaro helped adults and school leavers in the NDIS achieve an independent life. From applying for the NDIS through to Plan Management and Support, Yumaro is a trusted NDIS supplier on the far south coast of NSW.
Helping you access NDIS
Not sure where to start with the NDIS?
At first glance, the NDIS can be confusing and stressful. You might be wondering, am I eligible or perhaps you have been told you are eligible but not sure what happens next.
Yumaro are offering individuals and families the opportunity to come and discuss their situation and questions about the NDIS with one of our expert staff members.
The consultation sessions can help with:
- Understanding what the NDIS is and if you are eligible
- Getting help with your current NDIS plan if it is not meeting your needs
- Any other NDIS related questions, Yumaro are offering this as a free service, so bookings are essential.

Led by a qualified Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Yumaro NDIS Plan Management team supports participants to manage the financial side of their NDIS plan, giving you maximum control over your plan funds and information and where they are being utilised. You don’t have to handle money, make payment requests, or process invoices and pay your providers – this is all taken care of by our Plan Management Team.
