Yesterday I attended some NDIS workshops - they were geared towards participants, so I found them most helpful. There are quite a number of new factsheets on the NDIS website https://www.ndis.gov.au/about-us/publications/booklets-and-factsheets 

The information has been updated to reflect all the recent changes. I have some hard copies in the office as well, so if you like a copy of a particular one, please let know by email: elizabeth.anderson@education.vic.gov.au 

If you'

 

Check-ins was a topic that we discussed - this is the process that should be happening. A parent will be called around 3 months before the plan expires to arrange a time for a Plan Check-in meeting, which can be face-to-face, phone call or video call. You should not be getting an unexpected call to talk about a Plan Check-in straight away. If you are finding that this is happening, please contact me as I can support you to have a conversation with relevant person about making an appointment at a time that suits you!

 

The NDIS is very keen to get feedback and complaints. The NDIS staff I spoke to yesterday are keen to hear from parents - both the good and the bad!!
