When we talk about using your NDIS plan, we mean understanding how to make the most of the supports and funding available to you.

Your plan is designed to help you achieve your goals, increase independence, and improve your quality of life. Knowing how to use it effectively can make a big difference.

In this session we will cover:

Understanding your support budgets and how funding can be used.
What to expect at a plan implementation meeting so you feel prepared.
How to find providers and understand pricing arrangements.
Tips for managing your plan budget to stay on track.
