What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding that allows people living with disability to build their capacity, become more independent and work towards their goals. The NDIS services offered by Open Minds are designed to give you every opportunity to make informed decisions and exercise control in the way your NDIS funding is used.
The NDIS can fund a range of supports to help with daily tasks and help develop your capacity.
How Do I Get Ready for the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) has laid out a simple process to assess your needs and develop your personalised NDIS Plan.
It’s important to be prepared for the NDIS application process. Your NDIS assessor doesn’t know you personally, so it’s up to you to communicate your needs and the level of support you require. That’s where Open Minds comes in! We have a proven history of supporting our customers through the NDIS planning process. As one of the first NDIS providers in Queensland, Open Minds has an experienced team that can work with you to find supports that will allow you to live the life you want.
The Open Minds team can help with pre-planning, turning your plan into action, reviewing your supports and assisting you with the NDIS review process. We’ll be with you to provide NDIS help every step of the way.
How Do I Access the NDIS?
Accessing NDIS support is simple. You can request access directly from the NDIA by phoning 1800 800 110 and providing details over the phone. You can also download or request a physical copy of the NDIS Access Request Form on their website.
If you need help applying for NDIS services then feel free to contact Open Minds. We’re more than happy to assist you with the application process!
