What is the NDIS?

NDIS is the new way of providing supports to Australians.

NDIA is a Independent Commonwealth Government agency who implements and overseers the NDIS.

NDIA will do an assessment on you application to access the NDIS funding. Once they determine that you are eligible then you will be notified via post with a letter confirming you qualify.

You then will be asked to consider what supports or assistance you are wanting. These are called your “goals”.
You will also be asked to confirm medical reports, identification, address, current supports if any. You may have all this information already that you will need to supply to the NDIA or you can request and sign a consent for them to contact the agencies for you.

You will get a allocated date which on this day it is your “plan meeting”. This meeting is where you can do it via phone or in person. You will be asked to bring all your information, evidence with you to meet with your “planner” or LAC (local area coordinator) they will meet with you and discuss what your “goals” are. From these goals they will work out a budget and create a plan for you.

You will receive your plan and the budget. From here you can find a provider you wish to use and take your NDIS plan and meet with them. They will be able to assist you further.

At the time of your plan you would have discussed different options as to how you would like to manage your plan. Some options are:

  • Plan Managed- this is where a plan manager receives your invoices for your supports and pays the invoices by accessing your NDIS plan for you.
    Self Managed or Plan Nominee- this is where you will be invoiced for your supports, and you have access to your plan via a participant portal where you can pay your own invoices.
  • NDIS Managed- where only an NDIS registered provider can claim from your plan directly for your supports that you receive.
    Your plan will have this stated in your plan what option you have chosen.
