Get The Most Out of Your NDIS Plan
Carer Mates • January 21, 2023
Getting the most out of your NDIS plan requires planning and making sure that you have entered all of your needs so that you can access supports over the period of your plan.
Consider the things that will make a difference to achieve your goals, such as reaching out to relevant community supports, managing expenses or activating services throughout the year. Also try to think about what providers could work best for you in providing services and cost-effectively meeting your needs. Be aware of when costs and funding limits apply in order for them to be factored into any planning decision - and make sure to review every aspect so there are no hidden surprises when claiming!
We at Carer Mates value each person's distinctive route toward realising their NDIS plan. Because of this, we go above and beyond to make sure that people's programmes are effective for them.
The leaders of Carer Mates' support coordination team offer their top five suggestions for maximising your NDIS money.
1. Verify that your support coordinator is a good match for you.It's crucial that your support coordinator fits your needs. They ought to collaborate with you to ascertain how your cash might be spent most effectively to meet your demands and ambitions. A fantastic support coordinator will collaborate to increase your capacity and implement your NDIS plan!
2. Monitor your plan's usage
Set up three-, six-, and nine-month reviews with your support coordinator or local area coordinator. By doing this, you can make sure that your plan is on track and that money is being allocated to achieving your objectives.
3. Organize progress reports carefully.
Collect data from your sponsored supports, such as support organisations and therapists, in collaboration with your support coordinator or local area coordinator. At your subsequent review, this can assist your NDIS plan in being optimised.
4. Be familiar with your neighbourhood and the resources accessible there.
Your support coordinator can assist you in learning about community supports and services that might be useful in attaining the objectives you've specified in your NDIS plan. This could include classes or groups for specific interests, community centres, local events, or the men's shed.
5. Put your money to good use.
Utilize your financing to the fullest extent by working with your support coordinator; they can assist you in coming up with innovative ideas for the services you may employ to advance your objectives. Talk about your options, including agency management, plan management, or self-management, which may provide greater freedom and possibilities.
