The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is one of the most important social reforms in Australian history. Although focused on providing participants with greater choice and control over the supports they access, many report the transition to the NDIS as being ‘confusing’.
To make the scheme more transparent and easier for participants and their families to understand the NDIS recently introduced ‘Our Guidelines’. Based on the NDIS legislation and rules ‘our guidelines’ cover a wide range of topics which we have detailed below:
- Principles followed when creating a plan
- What supports can we fund
- What supports don’t we fund
- How do we manage the financial sustainability of the NDIS
- Reasonable & necessary supports
- Would we fund it?
- Reviewing our decisions
- Early Childhood approach
- Justice system
- Mainstream & community supports
- Your privacy & information
- Equipment & technology
- Home & living supports
- Social & community participation
- Disability-health related supports
- Having someone represent you
