NDIS
Stars Within is not a registered NDIS service provider. However, eligible students can pay for their dance classes using their NDIS funds. As we offer group and centre based activities, you may be able to claim our dance classes through your NDIS plan if it is Self or Plan Managed under Core Supports or Capacity Building, depending on your goals.
The most popular category to claim our classes through is Increased Social and Community Participation under the Capacity Building support (a support that helps a participant build their independence and skills). However, dance classes at Stars Within also fall under the Daily Activities category. Students can claim from either of these budgets.
It is the responsibility of the parent / carer / plan manager / support worker to pass on our invoices to the NDIS for claiming after the lesson has been paid for and let us know what to include on these invoices. Claiming for reimbursement after the lesson is not the responsibility of staff at Stars Within.
Students that do not have NDIS funding are still welcome at Stars Within regardless.
NDIS FAQ’S
Do you charge a service agreement fee?
No we don't.
How can dance classes be billed through the NDIS?
Dance classes can be billed through the NDIS if you are self or plan managed.
I didn't think dancing lessons would be covered by the NDIS. How does this work?
If a participant has funding for Capacity Building then they can use dance as a means to achieve the goals they have set out and have been funded for. Such as using dance to overcome anxiety, using dance to build friendships, using dance as a physical activity, using dance to stay fit etc. Goals can be achieved in many ways and you don't have to stick to traditional therapists or therapies to achieve them. There is a lot of flexibility in Capacity Building and it is up to the participant and their representative to work out what is the best way to achieve the participant's goals.
