The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is designed to support people with disability, their families and carers. However, understanding how to maximise your NDIS plan can be overwhelming, especially if you’re new to the scheme. In this post, we’ll share some tips and strategies to help you make the most of your NDIS plan.
1. Set clear goals and priorities
Before you start using your NDIS plan, it’s important to set clear goals and priorities. What are your needs and what support do you require to achieve your goals? By setting clear goals and priorities, you can ensure that your NDIS plan is tailored to meet your specific needs.
2. Understand your funding categories
The NDIS provides funding across three categories: core, capacity building, and capital. Understanding what each category covers can help you make informed decisions about using your funding. For example, core funding can be used for everyday support, while capacity-building funding is for longer-term goals like skill development and community participation.
3. Research your options
When it comes to using your NDIS funding, many options are available. Researching your options and comparing service providers can help you find the best fit for your needs. Look for providers who have experience working with people with similar needs to yours and who offer services that align with your goals and priorities.
4. Communicate with your service providers
Effective communication with your service providers is key to maximising your NDIS plan. Ensure you clearly communicate your needs and goals and regularly review your progress with your service providers. This can help you make adjustments to your plan and ensure that you’re on track to achieve your goals.
5. Keep track of your funding
It’s important to keep track of your NDIS funding and how it’s being used. Regularly reviewing your plan and keeping track of your spending can help you make the most of your funding and avoid overspending.
