Why take this course?
NDIS eligibility reassessments are ramping up, with reports saying up to 1,200 participants are facing reviews every week (yikes). And it’s all thanks to new legislation that basically gives the NDIA more powers when re-assessing a person's eligibility.
At the same time, updated eligibility rules add to the uncertainty, leaving Participants at risk of reduced funding or losing access to the Scheme altogether. All because of the confusion, rather than them actually being ineligible.
Now, it’s essential for providers and participants to understand the reassessment process to maintain access to support, navigate legislation changes, improve the quality of support planning, and reduce anxiety and uncertainty. So when the eligibility reassessment letter does arrive at a Participants door, you’ll feel calm, confident and better equipped to support them.
What you’ll gain
Across 2 hours, we’ll dive into the nitty gritty of eligibility assessments and what participants need to do if they’ve been requested for one.
Including:
An Overview of Eligibility Reassessments - The purpose, frequency, and process of NDIS eligibility reassessments, including recent changes in legislation.
New Law Changes - The updated laws that have expanded the NDIA’s powers to conduct reassessments and request additional information, and how these changes impact participants.
