People with a Disability often experience chronic diseases including diabetes, epilepsy, heart and lung conditions.

These diseases require close monitoring of symptoms and may also need blood tests or scans, depending on your particular conditions.

Regular treatment of these diseases including with a healthy lifestyle and medication may be needed to reduce the chance that you will need to go to hospital.

Some people also need to see Allied Health providers including a podiatrist, physiotherapist, psychologist, exercise physiologist, audiologist or dietician who may be referred to under Medicare EPC referrals or by utilising your NDIS funding depending on your plan.
