Your NDIS Plan: What Happens After Approval
Once an NIDS plan is approved, participants can start using their funding to buy NDIS supports that are related to their disability and in line with their plan. This article explains what happens after plan approval, how plan funding is organised, what participants can and cannot buy, how providers are involved, what happens during check-ins, and when a plan may need to change.
What is the NDIS?
The NDIS provides funding to eligible Australians with disability and connects people with disability to supports in their local community. This article explains what the NDIS is, who it’s for, what it means to become an NDIS participant, and what support may still be available if someone is ineligible for NDIS supports.
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.
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.
Understanding the NDIS: A Guide
The NDIS can feel like a new language at first: plans, partners, “reasonable and necessary,” and a lot of moving parts. This guide breaks the scheme down including what it is, who it’s for, what it funds, and who you’ll likely interact with along the way.
Finding the Right Service Providers
Choosing NDIS service providers can feel overwhelming, even with all the choice and control the NDIS offers. This post shares practical ways to find the right fit and explains how plan management can expand your provider choices including some unregistered providers.
