Understanding your NDIS plan
With a full breakdown of your NDIS plan, you’ll know how to make use of all your NDIS funding. We’ll also provide support with budgeting and planning, setting up the NDIS participant portal, becoming familiar with the NDIS price guide, and offer assistance when you’re ready to prepare for your next NDIS plan
Identifying your options
We’ll listen carefully to your needs and wants and address any barriers you might be facing. We can then look at the different options available to you, including funded, mainstream and informal service networks, and connect you to the right supports to meet your goals.
Building your capacity
Learn how to research and connect with services, increase your support networks, make long-term plans, and understand what to look for in a support worker and a support organisation
Ongoing support
Regular check-ins with meetings and phone calls will allow us to monitor and review your supports, and make adjustments if they’re not working for you or if your needs change. You can contact us if you have any questions or concerns about your NDIS plan or if you want assistance when things go wrong.
Resolving service delivery issues
If you are experiencing issues with a service provider, you’ll feel supported to make a complaint if necessary and work on resolving the issue directly with the provider.
