Greater independence, more opportunities, and a higher quality of life: these are the goals and ideals of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which provides participants with funding and plans to access functional NDIS support.
It can be difficult to navigate these plans. As a programme that caters to more than 500,000 Australians, there are a number of worthwhile enhancements that are still being addressed.
Despite these growth factors, the NDIS continues to have a substantial impact. SupporNest provides assistance in maximising the effectiveness of the scheme.
Benefits of the NDIS: Making the Most of Your Support Plan
Accessing the NDIS can feel like learning a new language for new participants. Obtaining an NDIS plan is a significant accomplishment and the first of many exciting steps on your NDIS journey. If your application satisfies the eligibility requirements for Support Coordination services, we will assist you in completing the remaining steps.
As a registered Support Coordination provider, SupportNest works with you to optimise your NDIS plan and connect you with the support you deserve. We can assist you in:
- Translate your NDIS plan into language most applicable to your situation and objectives.
- Support you in your plan’s implementation
- Provide access to health care professionals and community support networks
- Increase your confidence and knowledge concerning the NDIS, allowing you to flourish.
With the assistance of NDIS Support Coordination, our participants have utilised their NDIS plans to improve their quality of life.
The Importance of Support Coordination in Maximising NDIS Funds
Support Coordinators play a crucial role in ensuring that they represent and assist their clients in maximising the value of their NDIS plan. Support Coordination should be based solely on a person’s goals and objectives for what they hope to accomplish with their plan.
With a Support Coordinator assisting each customer to plan and allocate their funding according to their unique needs, you can rest assured that we will facilitate the appropriate support and services to help you live your best life.
The various categories of NDIS plan funding can be perplexing for participants, which is why Support Coordination is crucial. Once you have invited a Support Coordinator to join your team, you will spend some time together planning and discussing the services and supports pertinent to your specific situation.
The manner in which your funding is allocated is largely determined by your goals, which is why articulating them clearly and concisely is such an essential aspect of utilising your NDIS plan.
Sharing these objectives with your SupportNest Support Coordinator will allow you and your team to hone in on your specific needs and implement the appropriate services and supports from the start.
Once your Support Coordinator has a firm grasp of your situation, they can use their expertise to act as a one-stop shop/single point of contact for navigating the implementation of these facilities, planning their frequency to best suit your needs and budget.
From Confusion to Confidence: Support Coordinators Simplify the NDIS Process
The NDIS process can be overwhelming, and many SupportNest participants value their Support Coordinators’ ability to simplify the NDIS. Support Coordinators are NDIS experts who specialise in the disability sector. It’s our job to make sense of it all.
Your NDIS experience may involve many small or large decisions, from approval to implementation, and it is the job of a great Support Coordinator to walk alongside you to assist you in making your choice. Among these decisions are:
- Which providers will provide which services? Do you have a prefered provider or do you require assistance in locating the best provider for you?
- Where should you put your money first?
- What qualities do you seek in a support worker? It takes more than experience and qualifications to find the right match for your support worker.
These decisions can have a significant impact on your NDIS experience. As a result, having a knowledgeable Support Coordinator can make all the difference. While your Support Coordinator will give you excellent advice on some of these decisions, they will also look at things from all angles to ensure that your values are prioritised.
Plan Management with SupportNest
The management of your plan is also relevant when discussing how you can utilise your funds. Plan’management’ refers to the individual or organisation responsible for processing your plan’s invoices. If your plan is Agency-Managed (meaning that the NDIS is responsible for processing invoices), you may only use your NDIS funds with NDIS-registered agencies. Having your NDIS plan managed by a Plan-Manager or managing it yourself will allow you to use your NDIS funds with a broader range of agencies, including those that are not required to be NDIS-registered in order to work with you.
Ultimately, your NDIS funds can be used to access supports, services, and consumables in order to achieve your NDIS goals. To learn more, contact a SupportNest representative immediately. Your Support Coordinator is always willing to provide additional information and answer your specific questions regarding NDIS funding.
