In this blog post, we take a look at NDIS housing options like SDA, SIL, MTA, and home modifications to help participants find the best fit for their needs.
Informal supports like family, friends, and community networks play a very important role in an NDIS participant’s journey. Learn how they complement formal services here.
New NDIS guidelines were enacted to clarify what participants can and cannot use their funding for. Learn how "Supports In" and "Supports Out" affect your plan.
Level 3 Specialist Support Coordination is a beacon of hope for participants and their caregivers. It relieves the significant challenges that make managing their NDIS plans more complex. These challenges may stem from various factors, including disabilities, mental health conditions, behavioural concerns, or unstable living environments. Let’s explore the types of participants who might need this advanced level of support and the assistance they may require.
Navigating the NDIS system can feel overwhelming, and a reliable, proactive Support Coordinator is critical to ensuring you receive the funding, services, and advocacy you need to thrive. Unfortunately, not all Support Coordinators meet expectations. As someone who has worked closely with clients and other coordinators, I’ve seen the impact of inadequate support. Missed opportunities, unresolved issues, and poor advocacy leave participants feeling frustrated and unsupported. But here’s the good news: you have options.
Understanding Respite Care and STA under NDIS
Introduced by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) in Victoria in August 2021, the Housing Support Services provides flexible, tailored support arrangements for NDIS participants who may not be eligible for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA). Unlike SDA, an Housing Support Services doesn’t cover the cost of housing (such as rent or mortgage payments); instead, it focuses on supporting individuals in their chosen home environment with the living support they need to live as independently as possible.
On October 3rd, a significant milestone was reached with the release of the updated NDIS Act, marking essential changes for participants, carers, and service providers across Australia. This new legislation is designed to enhance accessibility, flexibility, and the overall efficiency of the NDIS, including the introduction of the NDIS Supports List, which helps participants better understand funded supports.
Support coordination is a vital capacity-building support within the NDIS framework, designed to help participants make the most of their plans. It enables individuals to understand their plans, connect with various supports, and build the confidence and skills needed to manage their supports effectively. Support coordination services are provided by support coordinators or specialist support coordinators, depending on the participant's specific needs.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is designed to support individuals with disabilities, including those with mental health needs, helping them live more independently, achieve their goals, and access essential services. The NDIS also provides resources and assistance for families and carers, enabling them to better support their loved ones.
