NDIS AND HOW IT WORKS

A tour and hiking can be a fantastic way for NDIS participants to achieve their goals through the beautiful benefits of the experience. LifeTrail and the NDIS empower people with disabilities to make their own choices and control over their lives by participating in activities that build confidence, independence, and social connections.

Families, Support Coordinators and LACs have seen and used LifeTrail hikes and tours as Respite; LifeTrail run hikes and tours as a tour operator.

Please be mindful of your NDIS position. LifeTrail will assist each participant as much as it is in our realm, but participants must ensure they have the required goals and funding. There is more information on our Naturbility page.
