Navigating your NDIS plan can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. At Safe and Sound Disability Care, we believe that everyone should have access to the support they need to live their best life, which is why we’ve put together this comprehensive guide to help you understand your NDIS plan and make the most of the support available to you.

An NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) plan is an individualized plan that outlines the support and funding available to individuals with disabilities in Australia. It aims to help improve their independence, health, and wellbeing, and provides the flexibility to choose the provider and services that best suit their needs and goals.

We have put together some tips below to help you get started navigating your plan, and some key points to look out for!

Step #1 - Understand your goals

The first and most important step in navigating your NDIS plan is to understand your goals. What are you hoping to achieve through your NDIS plan? This could be anything from increasing your independence, participating in your community, to improving your health and wellbeing. Understanding your goals will help you determine the type of support and services that you need to reach them.

To get started, try to identify your most important goals and prioritize them. For example, if your goal is to be more independent, you might prioritize support with personal care, such as help with showering and dressing. If your goal is to participate in your community, you might prioritize support with transport and access to community activities.

Step #2 - Review your plan

Once you have a clear understanding of your goals, it's time to review your NDIS plan. This will give you an idea of the support and funding that is available to you. Your NDIS plan outlines the support services and funding available, and it's important to familiarize yourself with the details of your plan so that you can make the most of your support.

To review your NDIS plan, take the time to read through it thoroughly, making note of any important details or services that you need to remember. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to your NDIS planner or contact person. They will be able to help you understand your plan and answer any questions you may have.

Step #3 - Identify your supports

The next step is to identify the supports that you need to reach your goals. This will involve considering the support services outlined in your NDIS plan, as well as any additional support that you might need to achieve your goals.

For example, if your goal is to participate in your community, you might need support with transport, such as assistance with getting to and from community activities. If your goal is to improve your health and wellbeing, you might need support with exercise and healthy eating.

When identifying your supports, it's important to think about what is most important to you and your needs. Consider your budget and available resources, and make a list of the supports that you need to reach your goals.

Step #4 - Find the right providers

Now that you know what support you need, it's time to find the right providers to deliver that support. The NDIS provides a range of providers and services, so it's important to find providers that align with your needs and goals.

When searching for providers, consider factors such as their experience, expertise, and the services they offer. It's also important to look at their availability and their willingness to work with you to achieve your goals.
