To apply for NDIS funding, you will need to provide detailed information about your disability, your current support needs, and your goals for the future.

• Use the NDIS provider tool –the NDIS website has an online tool that helps you to find registered providers in your area. Just enter your postcode and the search will generate a list of providers according to your criteria.
• Chat to your friends and family members– ask for recommendations from people who are also receiving disability support services. Disability advocacy organisations or local community groups can also put you in the right direction.
• Speak to your Local Area Coordinator– your LAC is usually your first point of contact when you become a NDIS participant. They can help you find providers that meet your needs, in your local area.

When talking to a NDIS provider to decide if they are right for you, it’s a good idea to ask questions and find out about the kind of services they offer. Some questions that will help you gain a better understanding of the NDIS provider’s services are:

• What NDIS supports do you provide?
• Are these services aligned with my NDIS plan goals and needs?
• Are you a registered NDIS provider?
• What experience and qualifications do your staff have?
• How do you ensure quality and safety in the services you provide?
• What are your fees and charges, and how are they decided?
• How do you handle complaints or concerns?
• How do you communicate with clients and their families?
• What is your availability, and how quickly can you provide services when needed?
• Who will be supporting me? Is it a consistent team?
• How do you plan to deliver person-centred support?

Manage your plan through the NDIA – If you choose to have the NDIA manage your NDIS plan, this means that the NDIA will oversee its implementation, allocate funds to service providers, and monitor the provision of services and supports. This can help to streamline the process of receiving NDIS funding, and ensure your plan is properly implemented and managed.

Manage your NDIS plan yourself – in this instance, the NDIS will reimburse you for the NDIS supports received. You are then responsible for managing the funding, selecting and engaging service providers, and monitoring the delivery of services and supports outlined in your plan. This can give you greater control and flexibility over your NDIS funding, and the service providers you choose.

Get a NDIS plan manager – you can choose a NDIS registered plan management provider to help you manage your plan. The provider will receive funds from the NDIA and disburse them to providers of services on your behalf. They can also purchase supports for you from registered or unregistered providers. Plan management providers are required to be registered with the NDIS Commission (except those in Western Australia).

A service agreement usually covers things like the supports provided, how much they will cost, and how long the agreement is valid for. It may also include information about cancellation policies, service delivery times, and any other terms and conditions that you have agreed on.

To enable you to be in control of your NDIS plan, any service agreement from a provider should have a clear and concise explanation of the services that the provider will provide, and the expectations and responsibilities of both parties. It’s important to carefully review the service agreement before signing it, as it is a legally binding contract with your NDIS provider. If you don’t understand anything in your agreement, ask questions so you know exactly what you are agreeing to.
