An informative and empowering webinar that looks beyond NDIS access and answers, how the heck do you prepare for a first Planning Meeting?

Why take this course?

Recently gained access to the NDIS? Great! But unfortunately, the process isn’t over yet. Preparing for your first NDIS Planning Meeting requires a whole bunch of time, organisation, evidence, and understanding of NDIS language and processes. 

This can be particularly confusing if it’s a first planning meeting – especially when the NDIA or LAC provider only provides generic information (‘read NDIS Booklet 2’ - anyone?) which doesn’t translate the NDIS in a meaningful or individualised way. 

Our solution? This 90 minute informative and interactive webinar will cover the main topic areas that require preparation, evidence, and consideration, when getting ready for a first Planning Meeting. Because when navigating the NDIS, knowledge is power. And the right knowledge will increase confidence and the ability to self-advocate, ultimately leading to better plan outcomes and a more empowered NDIS experience. And who wouldn’t want that?
