How Does An NDIS Plan Work?
The NDIS, or National Disability Insurance Scheme, provides support to people in Australia living with a disability. Everyone has different support requirements and goals so there are NDIS support coordinators in every area to help you understand and access the NDIS.
An NDIS plan outlines your goals, aspirations, and any supports you may need to achieve them, including what funding you will receive. You will meet with an NDIA (National Disability Insurance Agency) representative to discuss your needs and develop an appropriate plan.
What Can Be Funded Through the NDIS?
The types of supports that the NDIS may fund for participants include:
Applying For An NDIS Package
Once you work out what kind of support would suit you best, it’s time to prepare your NDIS application. You can contact the NDIA for assistance and information about what you need to provide. You will need to gather information about functional impacts and determine which levels of support you need. This is why talking with an NDIA representative is so important.
How Can The NDIS Support You?
The purpose of your NDIS plan is unique to you. That’s why you should always meet with a support coordinator to help you understand what services are available to you that work within your budget and align with your goals.
