NDIS Autism Support, Level 1-3
We are dedicated to supporting individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) at all levels.
Our NDIS-funded services are designed to provide tailored assistance to meet the unique needs of each individual, helping them to lead fulfilling, independent lives. Whether it’s building social skills, improving communication, or supporting daily living activities, our autism support services are focused on empowering individuals.
Understanding NDIS Autism Support Levels
NDIS autism support is available across three levels based on the type and amount of support required:
ASD Level 1: Requiring Support
Individuals with Level 1 ASD may need support with social interactions, planning, and organisation. They are often independent but benefit from guidance in structured settings to develop their social and executive functioning skills.
ASD Level 2: Requiring Substantial Support
Those with Level 2 ASD require a higher level of assistance, particularly in communication and social settings. They may also exhibit limited interests and repetitive behaviours, requiring tailored support to navigate daily life and social interactions.
ASD Level 3: Requiring Very Substantial Support
Level 3 is the highest support level for individuals with ASD, where extensive assistance is needed in almost all aspects of daily life. These individuals typically experience more pronounced difficulties with communication, social engagement, and may need comprehensive support to manage repetitive behaviours and other challenges.
These services are available for both children and adults, and we also provide assistance for children under nine through the Early Childhood Approach.
Our team is experienced in providing structured, compassionate support that adapts to the participant’s needs and goals, helping them to thrive both at home and within their community.
