Where Do I Start?
Starting your NDIS journey begins with understanding what the NDIS is and how it can support you. Here’s a simple breakdown of the steps you need to take:
1) Learn About the NDIS
Get familiar with the basics of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). This program is designed to provide support for Australians with disabilities, helping them live more independently and achieve their goals.
3) Apply for the NDIS
Once you’ve determined your eligibility, the next step is to apply. This involves filling out an application form and providing supporting documents, such as medical reports. We’ve included a link below where you can download the application form and a guide to help you through the process.
5) Understand Your Plan
Once you receive your NDIS plan, it’s essential to understand how to use it. This includes knowing what supports and services are covered and how to manage your budget. Our resources will help you make sense of it all or feel free to contact us if you need more information.
2) Check Your Eligibility
Not everyone qualifies for NDIS support. It’s important to understand the eligibility criteria, which include age, residency, and the nature of your disability. You can check your eligibility on the official NDIS website or contact us for guidance.
4) Prepare for Your Planning Meeting
After your application is approved, you’ll have a planning meeting with an NDIS planner. This is where you’ll discuss your needs and goals, and create your NDIS plan. Our blog posts offer advice on how to prepare for this important meeting.
