Why take this course?

Everyone's support needs are different. Yet for those who require substantial, high intensity or 24/7 supports, they’re currently at risk of having their plan funding cut thanks to the latest NDIA crackdown. This is a big deal, considering the need for these substantial NDIS supports is still there, it just needs to be evidenced correctly.

This informative 2 hour workshop will guide you through how to confidently and effectively provide evidence for substantial NDIS supports, such as high intensity or 24/7 supports. With the right communication and evidence, the people you support can still get the plan funding they need.
