Understanding your NDIS plan
Central to optimizing the support and services at your disposal is your comprehension of your NDIS plan. It's paramount that you take the time to meticulously review your plan and, if any aspect seems unclear, don't hesitate to seek clarity through questions.
Here are some critical considerations to prioritize while delving into your NDIS plan:
​
Goals: Your NDIS plan should be a reflection of your personal goals and aspirations, outlining the supports and services allocated to help you achieve them. Ensure you grasp the essence of your goals and how the specified supports and services contribute to your attainment.
​
Funding: Each support and service in your NDIS plan comes with an allocated funding amount. It's essential to understand the financial resources available to you and how they can be utilized to access the support and services you require.
​
Review Dates: Your NDIS plan will include review dates, indicating when your plan will be reevaluated to ensure it remains aligned with your evolving needs. Stay informed about your plan's review schedule and initiate preparations well in advance.
​
Providers: Your plan will enumerate approved providers capable of delivering the supports and services you require. Familiarize yourself with the available providers and the means to engage their services.
​
Flexibility: Keep in mind that your NDIS plan is adaptable and can be modified should your needs change over time. If you encounter any challenges or require additional supports, don't hesitate to engage with your Support Coordinator to discuss potential adjustments to your plan, ensuring it continues to meet your unique needs.
Your NDIS Goals
Your NDIS goals stem from your individual needs and aspirations, tailored to empower you to lead a fulfilling life and actively engage within your community.
These goals encompass vital aspects like enhancing your health and well-being, cultivating life skills, attaining employment objectives, and boosting social participation.
​
Within the NDIS framework, you wield the power of choice and control over your supports and preferred providers. While this autonomy is empowering, it can also be daunting to navigate the who, what, and how of connecting with the right supports.
