The National Disability Insurance Scheme is a plan for helping people with special needs based on their individual needs, to have a smooth life where they can fulfil their desires and their aspirations. NDIS Plan Management Cairns helps people with significant disabilities to prepare for their first NDIA meeting, preparing the candidate for all the formalities, making him feel confident and well-prepared.
NDIS was started by NDIA, a statutory agency, that provides funding to such people. This helps them become independent, enable them to have a quality life and spend quality time with their family and friends, they are connected to services in their communities They get an access to a new life where they are able to acquire new skills, get decent jobs, become self-reliant, gives chances to them to volunteer in their communities and above all help them enjoy their life with confidence and independence.
WHAT IS NDIS PLAN MANAGEMENT?
NDIS Plan Management helps the applicants to prepare well for their first meeting with the Local Area Coordinator. A detailed pre-planning meeting helps the candidate to face the scheduled meeting with confidence and also helps them arrange for all the required paperwork. They are given ample time to concentrate on their goals and what outcomes they want from the NDIS meeting.
So, in short, the Pre-Planning Meeting is a rehearsal of the scheduled Planning Meeting. It’s like a mock exam that helps the students to be prepared for the actual exam. We arrange for an expert on the matter who asks you expected questions, helps you overcome your nervousness, helps you frame your answers and gives tips on how to answer.
WHY IS PRE-PLANNING MEETING IMPORTANT?
1. Getting prepared with the paperwork –
The NDIS process requires a lot of paperwork. We at NDIS Plan Management help the applicants prepare for all the paperwork in advance. Reports and assessments are required for the verification of the disability. All the papers need to be in order and we help the applicant to have a hassle-free experience.
2. Detailed Questionnaire –
The applicant is asked umpteen questions and all the details, even the minutest, are attended to by our specialists. The actual process may feel like a maze but we ensure a smooth sail out of the maze with our eye to detail. Questions may pertain to –
- Your personal details
- Your supporters
- Your carer
- Your transport
- Your daily/monthly expenditure
- Your special equipments
- Your goals
- Your expectations from NDIS
- Your future plans
- Suggesting The Perfect Supporter–
Our team of specialists, after going through all the details of applicants’ routine, suggests them the perfect supporter who would accompany them in the NDIS meeting. The supporter may be a parent, friend or relative. As many questions may be asked about the applicant’s support system, it is advisable that the supporter is present throughout the meeting. It also gives the LAC a perfect chance to see the compatibility between the two. As the meeting can go for a long time, the supporter would also help with the details of the meeting, later.
- List of Service Providers–
Our team also helps prepare a list of all the service providers required for the applicant. A detailed summary is prepared of all of them with the services being provided and its cost structure. They are also interviewed by our team for a better understanding of the candidate’s needs.
- Chalk Out The Goals –
Our specialists help the applicants in chalking out the goals they want to achieve through this programme. Goa;s need to be directed towards an outcome. There should be short-term goals (to be achieved within a year) or long-term goals (to be achieved within 5 years) and the applicants need to be clear about them. Although they can be modified by the LCA during the meeting, the applicants must be absolutely sure of their goals.
- Management Of The Funds –
Once the funds are allotted, how they would be used for the applicant’s benefit, has to be decided. Funding can be managed by the applicant, the nominee, a registered plan management provider or a support coordinator by the NDIA. We help the applicant realise whom he would entrust with this responsibility.
Conclusion
With right planning and preparation all goals can be achieved unhindered. We at NDIS Plan Management, Cairns are working tirelessly to unburden you from feeling overwhelmed by the whole process. We don’t just prepare you for the experience but give you an overview of the whole process, clarify your doubts, help you explore your goals and priorities and maximise what NDIS has to offer.
