The NDIS is a national scheme designed to provide support to Australians with a permanent and significant disability. It aims to help individuals achieve their goals, increase their independence, and enhance their quality of life. The NDIS provides funding for a range
of services, including personal care, therapy, assistive technology, and more. Starting your NDIS journey can seem overwhelming, but with the right support and guidance, it can be a transformative experience. By understanding the application process and leveraging the
benefits of plan management, you can ensure your NDIS funding is managed effectively, allowing you to focus on achieving your goals and enhancing your quality of life.
If you are eligible to apply for NDIS funding according to the rules laid down by the NDIA, you will need to complete an Access Request Form. This form requires detailed information about your disability, how it impacts your life, and the supports you currently use. Once your application is submitted, the NDIS will assess your eligibility and inform you of the outcome. If your application is approved, the next step is to create your NDIS plan. This plan outlines the goals you want to achieve and the supports and services you need. You will work with an NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator (LAC) to develop a plan tailored to your needs. Once your NDIS plan is in place, it will be time to implement it. This is where plan management comes into play. Plan management is a service funded by the NDIS to help you manage your NDIS funding. It acts as a bridge between you and the service providers, ensuring your funds are used effectively and all necessary administrative tasks are handled efficiently. Plan managers handle the financial aspects of your NDIS plan, including
processing invoices, tracking your budget, and ensuring payments are made on time. With plan management, you have the flexibility to choose from a wider range of service providers, including those who may not be registered with the NDIS.
