Setting Goals for Your NDIS Plan
Goals are a required part of NDIS planning because they describe what a participant wants to work towards in their life. However, goals are not a direct shortcut to funding. This guide explains how goals are recorded, and how participants can prepare goals that are clear, personal, and useful in planning conversations.
Understanding Reasonable & Necessary Supports
All funded NDIS supports must meet the “reasonable and necessary” criteria and must be an “NDIS support” under updated laws. This article explains what each criterion means in practice, why some supports aren’t funded even when recommended, how the NDIA considers mainstream and informal supports, and what options exist if a participant disagrees with a funding decision.
Principles the NDIA Follows Creating Plans
NDIS plans are built using legislated rules and a set of planning principles intended to support fairness, consistency, and financial sustainability. This article explains what those principles are, how the NDIA applies “reasonable and necessary” criteria, and what supports can and can’t be funded.
