- This webinar is all about demystifying the NDIS plan change process and to get you acquainted with the new NDIS computer system, called PACE.
Together with our special guest NDIS expert, Sally Coddington, Principal Consultant at DSC, we delve into:
- The terminology, time frames and processes of NDIS plan reassessments, variations, check-ins and change of situations requests.
- Some tips on being prepared for your planning conversations, that will help ensure a balance of power between you and the planner.
- What to do if you are not happy with an NDIA decision about your plan.
- An overview of the biggest impacts the new PACE system will have on participants.
OUR KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The NDIA should respond to your request for a change within 21 days, and putting the requests in writing helps to keep track of the communication dates.
- Make sure you have evidence to supply about any changes that impact your support needs. Think about the most appropriate type of evidence to show that change. It won't always be an OT report, and there's no harm in supplying things like carer statements.
- Do your pre work and be clear on how the supports you want funded meet all the reasonable and necessary requirements.
- If you are requesting an internal review of what has been included in your plan, use the 3 month request deadline to gather as much evidence as you can to build a strong case. This will make it more likely to be successful and avoid a painful administrative appeals tribunal experience.
- In PACE, endorsing a provider as "My Provider" can happen instantaneously over the phone with the NDIS call centre, stay on the line as they do it for you straight away.
