FAQS
What is NDIS?
NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) is a scheme of the Australian Government to fund costs associated with disability. NDIA (National Disability Insurance Agency) administers the scheme and NDIS Commission (NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission) oversees it.
What is an NDIS plan?
Your NDIS plan is a document about you. It outlines your life goals and aspirations. The plan document also contains a breakdown of the supports required to help you achieve your goals. And it includes the details of allocated funding too.
The NDIS plan is based on the details provided during the initial planning meeting with the Local Area Coordinator (LAC).
What type of supports are covered by NDIS funds?
NDIS funds cover the cost of supports across a wide range of areas. From daily personal activities to therapeutic support and wellbeing, NDIS provides funds for all services, which it considers necessary for the independence of the person.
The funds might also support transportation, community participation and home modification costs. All the details are outlined in the plan.
What to do if I need changes?
Most times, NDIS does a yearly review of your plan, the services provided and the current situation. And you can opt for changes during the review.
You can also ask to have your NDIS plan reviewed any time, and accommodate changes as per the circumstances.
Can I change my provider if I am not happy?
Yes. If you are not happy with your current disability service provider, you can change to one that will support you the way you need. Contact us today to discuss how we can support you.
Who is eligible for NDIS?
People with a “permanent and significant” disability (under the age of 65) are entitled to get funding under NDIS Funding is allocated for any “reasonable and necessary” support needs related to their disability.
Who will manage my plan?
You can choose to manage your NDIS Plan yourself, with assistance from a person you nominate. Or you can use the NDIS agency. It is best to discuss how you want to manage the plan at your meeting so the Planner can let you know your options.
How many plan meetings do I need to attend?
It depends on individual needs. Sometimes, everything is sorted out in one meeting. And at other times, it takes longer to work out all the details. From services you need to the choice of ideal support service providers, everything is discussed during the meetings.
Are there different package amounts?
Yes. The aim of the NDIS is to provide you with the supports and services required for you to be as independent as possible. The amount of the package is determined by your individual needs, goals, aspirations and what is included in your plan.
