How to Access NDIS Funding for Complex Care Needs
Accessing NDIS funding for individuals with complex care needs can seem daunting, but understanding the process can make all the difference. The first step is determining eligibility — individuals must meet the NDIS access requirements, which include being aged between 7 and 65 and having a permanent disability that significantly impacts their daily life.
Once eligibility is confirmed, the next step is planning meetings with an NDIS planner. During this meeting, you’ll discuss the person’s support needs, goals, and how they can be met through the NDIS. For those with complex care needs, it’s essential to work closely with professionals who understand these requirements, such as occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and psychologists.
The NDIS will assess the information provided in your planning meeting, and you’ll receive a funding approval decision. In cases of complex care, it’s crucial to ensure that the proposed support is customized and comprehensive, covering all aspects of care. If approved, you’ll receive a funding package, which can be used for services like nursing, physiotherapy, personal care, and more.
