Supporting you from school to independence.

Our Youth NDIS Services support school leavers & young adults to develop essential employment, social, and independence skills.

Youth NDIS Supports

As a registered NDIS provider, we bring over 20 years of expertise to support school leavers and young adults in developing essential employment, social, and independence skills.

We tailor our services, combining group sessions with personalised one-on-one support, to ensure every participant can reach their individual goals with confidence.

We can also help students and families with their NDIS access to help make the transition from school easier.

to reach for the future you want.

Why choose Omnia Inclusive?

We are one of Australia’s most trusted Youth NDIS providers. Over the past two decades hundreds of young people living with disability have been successfully supported by our programs. Guided by our three key points of difference, below, our mission is to provide you with the skills and confidence you need to live, socialise and work more independently.

Inspired Innovation

Learning should always be fun and relevant to the real world! Some of our recent innovations include Mini Woolies Omnia, the Lettuce Eat pop-up restaurant and our Cisco Webex Boards.

Tailored Support

We see you. We hear you. We care about you as an individual. Working together we will create a program that best suits your personal situation, needs and goals for the future.

Path to Employment

We don’t just do NDIS. We are also a fully registered DES provider, so when you are ready for the workforce, we are here to support you to find the role that you love, and then thrive in it!

“Omnia Inclusive really bridges that gap, going from high school into the next stage of life and being independent. The growth we have seen in our daughter is just wonderful. She has a whole new level of pride, willingness and optimism for what she thinks she can do in the future. She now talks about wanting to be everything! What else can you ask for?”

“We are so passionate about supporting young people. There are always new projects happening with opportunities to explore new interests, learn new skills and really challenge yourself. It’s all about finding out what your personal goals and interests are, then matching a career to that, whatever it may be.”

Let us help you navigate the journey

Yes, the NDIS can be complicated. But we know the way! We will work with you and your family to develop a personal NDIS plan, and then review it each year so you keep you on the right path. Starting your NDIS journey involves a planning meeting with your local NDIS representative. This is your opportunity to have a detailed discussion about your current situation and supports. We will help you prepare for this important meeting and the different steps you will need to follow.

Prepare

The first step is to prepare for your meeting with your NDIS Local Area Coordinator and start building your personal NDIS plan.

Support

We will support you before, during and after your NDIS meeting to ensure your approved NDIS plan meets your personal goals and needs.

Implement

Together we will put your approved NDIS plan into action, making sure you have everything you need to get started on your NDIS journey, and succeed in it!
