Transitioning to the NDIS: What You Need to Know
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian government program that provides funding and support to people with disabilities to help them achieve their goals and live more independently. As a registered provider, Integrity Disability Hub is here to help you navigate the transition to the NDIS and make the most of your plan.
What is the NDIS?
The NDIS is a national program that provides funding for people with disabilities to access services and support that are tailored to their individual needs. The scheme aims to empower people with disabilities to live more independently and to achieve their goals in life, such as finding employment, improving their health and wellbeing, or participating in their local community.
Who is eligible for the NDIS?
To be eligible, you must be under 65 years old and have a permanent disability that significantly affects your ability to carry out daily activities. You must also be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa.
How to transition to the NDIS
If you are eligible for the NDIS, transitioning to the scheme involves a few key steps. These include:
- Preparing for your planning meeting: Before you meet with a planner to develop your NDIS plan, it is important to have a clear understanding of your needs, goals, and aspirations. Our team at Integrity Disability Hub can help you prepare for your planning meeting and ensure that you have all the information you need to get the most out of your plan.
- Developing your NDIS plan: Your NDIS plan is a personalised document that outlines your goals and the support and services that you need to achieve them. Our team of Plan Managers can help you develop a plan that is tailored to your individual needs and preferences.
- Implementing your plan: Once your plan has been approved, our Disability Support Workers can help you implement the supports and services outlined in your plan. This may include assistance with daily living activities, social and community participation, or therapies and treatments.
