Rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the joints. It causes inflammation, pain, stiffness, and swelling, often leading to joint deformity and functional limitations. RA can also impact other parts of the body, such as the heart, lungs, and eyes.
NDIS support coordinators play a crucial role in assisting participants with rheumatoid arthritis. Our Support Coordinators work closely with you to develop personalised NDIS plans that address your specific needs and goals related to managing the condition. We can help you to access appropriate therapies, such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and pain management strategies. We can also facilitate referrals to rheumatologists and other healthcare professionals specializing in rheumatoid arthritis.
Plan managers within the NDIS handle the financial aspects of the participant’s NDIS plan. We ensure appropriate funding allocation for necessary supports and therapies related to rheumatoid arthritis. This may include assisting with the coordination of services and ensuring participants have access to aids and equipment, such as mobility aids or assistive devices, to improve their quality of life and independence.
As a service provider in Devon Meadows and surrounding suburbs, we collaborate and cooperate with providers across Melbourne and support participants with rheumatoid arthritis by organising group events, social activities, and community access opportunities. These activities provide social interaction, emotional support, and opportunities for skill-building and engagement. We can also help participants connect with others who have similar experiences, fostering a sense of community and well-being.
