Not Happy! When NDIS Planning Doesn’t Go To Plan
Not getting what’s needed out of the NDIS is frustrating. The good news? There are options (AKA escalation pathways) you can take from here.
Why take this course?
In this NDIS, things don’t always go to plan. Whether you’re a Support Coordinator, participant or plan nominee, you might face a time where you don’t agree with a decision made by the NDIA or someone you support didn’t get the NDIS plan needed.
Ugh – what now?
Thankfully, there are options. Escalation pathways. This informative 2 hour workshop is your practical guide to navigating NDIS escalation pathways, including NDIS Complaints, Change of Circumstance, Internal Reviews, AAT and Members of Parliament. Because knowing what options you have, what’s appropriate for individual situations, and how to go about it will build your confidence and efficiency, and ultimately, support more participants to get what they need from the NDIS system.
