Creating Your Plan

Developing your NDIS plan is a tailored process that focuses on identifying your objectives and requirements, as well as identifying the necessary support and services to fulfill those objectives. The steps involved in formulating your NDIS plan can be outlined as follows:

1. Understanding the NDIS

Developing your NDIS plan is a tailored process that focuses on recognising your objectives and requirements, as well as identifying the necessary support and services to fulfill those objectives. The steps involved in formulating your NDIS plan can be outlined as follows:

3. Assessing your needs

After determining your objectives, it is essential to evaluate your existing needs along with the support and services necessary to reach those objectives. This process may require collaboration with an NDIS planner or local area coordinator to pinpoint specific areas where assistance is needed, including assistive technology, personal care, or therapy.

5. Reviewing and updating your plan

Your NDIS plan is not fixed and should be assessed periodically to guarantee that it aligns with your evolving needs. You have the option to review your plan annually or sooner if there are significant changes in your situation.

7. Compensation

The NDIS offers compensation to qualified individuals with disabilities, enabling them to access the support and services specified in their NDIS plan. You can oversee your funding via the online portal, which lets you view your services and support, manage your funding, and connect with service providers.

2. Identifying your goals

The NDIS planning process is centered around goals, which means it emphasises what you aim to accomplish. You must determine your short-term and long-term objectives in all aspects of your life, such as employment, education, social and community involvement, health and wellness, and independent living.

4. Developing your plan

According to your objectives and requirements, an NDIS planner or local area coordinator will create your customised NDIS plan. This plan will detail the support and services you need to reach your goals, along with the funding allocated for each support and service.

6. Managing your plan

After your plan receives approval, you will be required to oversee your funding and select your service providers.
