Unknown Things - With the Guidance of NDIS Support Workers

by Paul Bennett Australia's Best Author

Participants mostly ask several questions to themselves and also to the professionals, such as how they support them with their funding and managing their daily lives. Many participants may get the answer, and many many not, so here is this for those who have queries regarding support management options and plan expiration. 

So, continue reading this post to learn more with the help of support workers in Perth

Here we go with first option: 

Support Management Options

At the planning meeting with a professional NDIS manager or administration, you can request how your plan will be managed.

However, you have three options to choose from:

  1. Self-management: You choose your own service providers, negotiate your own contracts, manage your budget and keep track of your expenses. You can also use your own funds to pay an accountant who will perform administrative tasks on your behalf. Keep in mind that you may be audited at any time.
  1. Plan Managed: According to the support workers near Perth, include a plan manager in your NDIS budget who will manage payments to vendors, budgets and reporting. You can also develop your financial skills and one day learn to manage the plan yourself.
  1. NDIA management: This is also known as agency management and you can only choose providers registered with NDIS. Providers can request payment electronically from your funds and NDIA does all the bookkeeping and accounting for you.

After learning about plan management, now we will continue learning that -

What happens when my plan expires?

Before your plan expires, your plan is automatically reevaluated.

At that time, an NDIS plan specialist will talk with you and your advocate to evaluate the results of the expired plan and assess your changing needs to prepare for the next plan.

As you get older, graduate from school, and in some cases enter the workforce, your needs will change, and there is no guarantee that the same level of funding will carry over from plan to plan.

In some cases, as you age, your impairment may remain the same or even worsen and you may need to change your level of support.

Each case is different and is assessed differently.

According to the professional support workers in Perth, in any case, it is important that you attend the planning meeting and have all the necessary information prepared in advance. Also, ask your advocate to attend the meeting and be prepared to talk about what you think you need to do to achieve your goals.

We hope you have found this post useful, this, share it with your loved ones!
