Top Five Questions to Ask During Your NDIS Planning Meeting
Despite their set format, no two NDIS planning meetings are the same. Your meeting is your opportunity to share what’s important to you and to make sure you’re informed about what happens next. To this end, we have compiled the top five questions to ask during your meeting.
1. How Long Will It Take to Receive My NDIS Plan?
If you are transitioning to the NDIS, your current state government funding will end on the day your plan starts. So it’s a good idea to find out when you can expect to receive your plan. Time-frames vary between NDIS planners and can be as little as two days or as many as 30 days. Your planner can let you know if there are any current delays and when you can expect your plan to be ready.
Most planners will send you your plan via email, but be sure to let them know if you would prefer it by post. This is also a great opportunity to double check they have your correct details, like your home address and email.
You might remember some important details after your meeting, so be sure to ask your planner how they prefer to be contacted. This is especially important because you will not be able to review your plan before it is issued.
2. Is There Someone Who Can Help Me to Understand and Implement My Plan?
Your NDIS plan may seem confusing at first, so it can be helpful to have someone to go through it with you. This could be your local area coordinator or a support coordinator. If you think you may need help, ask your planner who the best person is in your area. Read more
