National Disability
Insurance Scheme
GDS Plan Management is a Registered NDIS Provider
When a person with a disability has registered with the NDIS and has been deemed eligible to enter the scheme by the NDIA, the pre-planning phase begins. This is where the person with disability may require support to understand the impact their disability has on their everyday activities.
Arranging Your NDIA Planning Meeting.
Depending on the person’s state, territory, and region in which they reside, they may be asked to meet with a NDIA Planner or contracted NDIA Partner in the Community: Local Area Coordinator, Early Childhood Coordinator or Access Coordinator for their planning meeting.
During The Planning Phase.
During the planning meeting, the NDIA will request evidence to show that a person’s disability is permanent and significant. They will seek to understand the impact of that person’s disability on their daily lives.
The NDIS focuses on participants’ goals and individual support needs to make sure each participant has a uniquely tailored plan to suit their life.
Begin Planning & Understanding Support Needs.
The NDIA will contact the participant (or their nominee) to begin the planning conversation. On most occasions, it is important for carers to attend these meetings as they have a good understanding of the person’s disability and their everyday functioning and support needs.
Choose an In-Person or Over The Phone Meeting.
These meetings can occur either face-to-face or over the phone. If you prefer to meet face-to-face, be clear and advocate for this when the planning meeting is being scheduled. Early Childhood Partners will generally arrange to meet with you in your home environment.
To join the NDIS you need to meet access requirements.
Anyone who thinks they might be eligible for the NDIS, can download an Access Request Form (ARF), and a Supporting Evidence Form (SEF), work with their GP, allied health, and specialist medical professionals to prepare and provide the information required.
