By maintaining a focus on results, the Program aims to provide participants with funding for the reasonable and necessary supports to live a better life. To successfully offer and improve the NDIS, we need the input, experience and advice from participants, their families and caregivers, providers, the disability sector and the community. To prepare for the planning meeting, think about your current supports and who is providing them, and what supports and services you might need to achieve your goals. The NDIA funds the AT based on the cost and risk of the item.
This means that different information is required depending on cost and risk, and an evaluation of the AT is not always required. In some cases, while the NDIA does not require advice or reporting, the participant must obtain advice from an AT advisor in writing before obtaining any AT. Records of individual support provided to the participant and lists of group supports are the best method for documenting the amount of supports delivered. I believe that the NDIS is sustainable if the NDIA ensures that all participants only receive the funds that are absolutely necessary to support their disabilities and the goals of the NDIS.
Read on to find out what budgeting tools they recommend, what to do if a customer is running out of NDIS funding, and how to help participants get the most out of their NDIS plans. If you are not satisfied with the quality or safety of the NDIS supports and services, your support coordinator can also help you file a complaint with the NDIS Commission. To help my clients obtain the funding they need to achieve their NDIS objectives, I encourage them to gather all the correct and relevant evidence directly related to their disabilities and their NDIS objectives as a whole. To avoid making this mistake, participants should request help applying for the NDIS from an NDIS partner in the community, such as Carers QLD, or from a support coordinator who is willing to help with this process, such as me.
You may be asked to share your recent experience with the NDIS when accessing, pre-planning, planning, or using the new portal for my NDIS participants. The NDIS Code of Conduct helps protect the health, safety and well-being of people with disabilities by establishing acceptable, appropriate, and ethical conduct for NDIS providers and workers. For the latest information on the NDIS Code of Conduct, visit the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission website. Since its inception, the NDIS has provided funding for people with disabilities who qualify for an NDIS plan.
