State government disability packages
Various states across Australia provide disability benefits in areas which have not transitioned to NDIS plans. If you’re a recipient of a government-initiated Disability Package, CRT will be able to help you during this transition period.
Our disability specialists understand the complexity of funding options available in each area and are always happy to discuss available options with you.
Private funded services
If you find that you have one-off requests, such as travel and holiday assistance, need help during extended periods of respite, or if you find that the NDIS or state-funded budgets available to you don’t cover all the services required, you can choose to privately fund extra services with CRT.
Insurance payout
If you’ve experienced total or permanent disability, you may be provided with third-party insurance payments.
