NDIS Support Services Australia

 The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) is an independent statutory agency, whose role is to implement and oversee the NDIS.  For more info please go to  NDIS Australia - YouTube 

The NDIS takes a flexible, whole-of-life approach to work with participants, their families, and carers, to develop individualised plans. The NDIS provides participants with more choice and control over how, when and where their supports are provided. It also provides certainty that they will receive the support they need over their lifetime.

The NDIS works to connect participants with community and mainstream supports. The NDIS also funds the additional reasonable and necessary supports to help participants pursue their goals and aspirations, and participate in daily life.

Helping people to build their social and economic participation requires the NDIS to work closely with community organisations to identify opportunities for people with disability

If you are eligible, you will need to call NDIS on 1800 800 110 to request an Access Request Form. You may need input from your GP or medical specialist/s as well as copies of any assessment, health care reports or other forms of evidence to support your application. If you already have this information readily available, you are off to a good start with planning for your planning meeting with NDIS! Once you have your Access Request Form, you have 21 business days to return it to NDIS for processing.

If you are struggling with the NDIS application process our support team are on hand to help you every step of the way.

The NDIA will let you know their decision within 21 days of receiving your application and all evidence. If your application is successful a Local Area Coordinator will contact you to arrange a planning meeting.

It’s important that you prepare for your planning meeting. Follow the link below to know what you need to bring and go through the planning meeting checklist they have available. https://www.ndis.gov.au/participants/creating-your-plan/planning-meeting-checklist.

GNG Care Services  can offer support during this entire process so if you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s okay, we’re here to assist. 

You will be assessed as part of your transition to NDIS and then again as you or someone else identifies that your needs are/have changed. Your NDIS plan will be formally reviewed after 12 months, but if something changes in the meantime, you can have your plan changed to suit your needs. 

Your Planning Meeting can be either face to face in a location convenient to you, or over the phone with a NDIS Planner or a Local Area Coordinator. During this meeting, you’ll be asked about your goals and your day to day life. This is where your ​NDIS Planning Workbook is helpful​. You can bring along a family member, friend or advocate to support you in your planning meeting if you desire. In your meeting, you’ll also be asked to choose a Plan Management Option, which determines who will manage your NDIS Plan and funding.

The frequency of visits will depend on your individual needs and the care plan developed by our team. We offer flexible scheduling options to ensure that you receive the care you need, when you need it.

The cost of our services will vary depending on the level of care required and the length of service. We work with most insurance providers to help cover the cost of care, and our team can also help you explore other options.
