NDIS Support for Stroke Recovery
Recovering from a stroke can bring many changes to daily life, from mobility and speech to independence and confidence. At Diverge Supports, we provide compassionate, tailored NDIS support for people recovering from stroke in Adelaide, helping you or your loved one live more fully and independently.
Understanding Stroke
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. This can cause brain cells to die within minutes, leading to a range of physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges.
There are three main types of stroke:
Ischaemic Stroke
Caused by a blood clot blocking a blood vessel in the brain.
Haemorrhagic Stroke
Caused by a blood vessel in the brain leaking or bursting.
Transient Ischaemic Attack
A TIA is often called a “mini-stroke,” with symptoms that usually resolve within 24 hours but signal a high risk of future stroke.
The effects of stroke depend on the part of the brain affected and how quickly treatment was received. While recovery looks different for everyone, the right supports can greatly improve independence and quality of life.
Common Effects of Stroke
Stroke can cause a wide range of symptoms, which may be temporary or long-term. These can include:
Physical
Effects
• Weakness or paralysis (often on one side of the body)
• Difficulty walking or balancing
• Problems with coordination and fine motor skills
• Fatigue and reduced stamina
• Swallowing difficulties (dysphagia)
• Vision changes (blurred or double vision)
Communication & Cognitive Effects
• Difficulty speaking (aphasia) or understanding language
• Memory problems
• Reduced concentration or attention span
• Difficulty with planning, problem-solving, or decision-making
Emotional & Psychological Effects
• Mood swings or irritability
• Anxiety or depression
• Loss of confidence and social withdrawal
Because no two strokes are alike, supports must be tailored to each person’s unique recovery journey.
How the NDIS Can Support People After Stroke
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding to help people recovering from stroke access supports that promote independence and participation in daily life. Depending on your plan, this may include:
Personal Care & Daily Living
Help with dressing, showering, grooming, and daily routines.
Mobility & Transport Support
Safe transfers, transport to appointments, and assistance using mobility aids.
Meal Preparation & Nutrition
Support with cooking, shopping, and eating safely.
Supported Independent Living (SIL)
24/7 or drop-in support to live more independently at home.
Short-Term Accommodation (Respite)
Temporary care to give carers or family members a break.
Community & Social Participation
Support to reconnect with social networks, hobbies, and community life.
Therapy Services
Physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, or psychology to aid recovery.
Nursing & Clinical Care
Medication management, continence care, and monitoring of health needs.

Local to Adelaide
We’re part of your community and here when you need us.
A stroke can impact movement, speech, memory, vision, and emotional wellbeing. Some people experience temporary challenges, while others need long-term support to manage daily tasks.
Yes. If the effects of a stroke are permanent and significantly impact daily living, you may be eligible for NDIS support.
Supports may include personal care, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech therapy, mobility equipment, home modifications, and support workers to assist with community and social participation.
The NDIS can fund therapies and supports that help with recovery and independence, but it does not replace hospital or medical rehabilitation services. Instead, it complements them by focusing on long-term support.
