  • What is a Respiratory or Cardiac Condition?

    NDIS Respiratory or Cardiac Conditions

    Respiratory and cardiovascular diseases are chronic illnesses of either the heart or lungs or both, which can make it challenging to breathe easily due to their impact on circulation. People who suffer from these types of illnesses will typically experience ongoing fatigue and discomfort with performing routine daily activities. Unlike acute illnesses, many chronic respiratory and cardiac diseases are lifelong and require constant medical monitoring, specialised interventions and consistent daily maintenance in order to maintain a stable state and prevent complications. Symptoms that are characteristic of chronic respiratory and cardiac diseases will change over time and may present with episodes of shortness of breath, chest pain, noted decreased mobility due to fatigue, and sudden changes in health status, which can affect a person’s ability to remain independent and improve their overall quality of life. 

    Due to the unpredictable nature of the disease and the demands of its management, persons with these types of diseases can often benefit from regular help from specialists (respiratory/cardiac), nurses, and trained NDIS support workers in order to manage their health safely and effectively. At Compass Care Group, we provide dedicated NDIS support in Perth for those with chronic respiratory and cardiovascular disease, offering support in the management of symptoms, day-to-day activities, and coordinating individualised care plans to promote maximum comfort, confidence, and support for every individual to live a safe and independent lifestyle.

FAQs

Is my respiratory or cardiac condition covered by the NDIS?

Yes! But the NDIS does not fund based solely on a medical diagnosis but on the functional impact of your condition. And to get NDIS support, your condition must cause a permanent impairment that substantially reduces your functional capacity for social or economic participation and requires support for life. 

Will the NDIS cover all my medical and health costs?

No, the NDIS does not replace general health services provided by Medicare. Medicare covers general health management, GP visits, and medications for chronic conditions. While the NDIS funds disability-related health supports that are “reasonable and necessary” to manage the ongoing impact of your permanent impairment on daily life.

What kind of support can the NDIS fund for respiratory/cardiac conditions?

The NDIS may fund specific disability-related health supports and assistive technology (AT) if they are a direct result of your permanent impairment

Can I still access Medicare services if I am an NDIS participant?

Yes, NDIS participants can continue to access health services from Medicare to manage their health and chronic conditions.
