NDIS Plans and Paperwork - How to Make It All Easy
First up, you’ll need to get an NDIS plan.
This is where the NDIS decides how much funding you or your loved one gets for things like therapy, daily care, and community activities.
Sounds simple enough, but it’s often not.
Getting Through the NDIS Assessment
It’s kind of like a meeting where you talk about your needs.
You’ll explain what help you need, and the NDIS will decide what supports are reasonable.
This part can be a bit tricky because sometimes it feels like they’re asking a million questions, but it’s important to be thorough so you can get the right level of funding.
What’s in Your NDIS Plan?
Once the assessment is done, you’ll get your NDIS plan.
This is basically a document that tells you how much funding you’ve got for things like therapy and support services.
It’s important to look through it carefully and make sure everything is included – sometimes, things get missed or aren’t fully covered, and that’s where we can help you out.

We'll explain everything so you’re never left wondering what comes next.

Behind the Scenes - Real NDIS Stories from Families Like Yours
It’s easy to feel like you’re the only one going through this.
But trust me, you’re not alone.
We’ve worked with plenty of families who were in the same boat.
Research Your Providers
Before committing to a provider, take time to research reviews and testimonials.
Check out their social media pages to see real-life feedback from other people.
It’s easy to get caught up in a polished website, but the real experience is reflected in what others are saying. - Gabby
A Family Struggling with Funding
One family came to us because their daughter’s NDIS plan didn’t have enough funding for OT and Speech Therapy.
She was having trouble with basic things like talking and motor skills, but her plan didn’t cover enough support.
After we reviewed her plan together, we helped them get the right evidence and reassess her needs.
Her funding was increased, and she got the therapy she needed to really start improving.
It was such a win for them.
Helping a Mum with Complex Needs
Then there was a single mum we worked with.
She had a child with complex needs and was overwhelmed by all the paperwork and processes.
It felt like she was stuck, not knowing where to turn.
Once we worked together, we were able to sort out everything – from finding the right therapist to making sure her child got the therapy that would help him most.
It was amazing seeing her relief when things finally clicked into place.

The NDIS isn’t always easy, but it can be really helpful once you know how to make it work for you.

Getting the Most from Your NDIS Plan
Once your plan is in place, it’s time to make sure you’re using that funding wisely.
It’s not just about ticking boxes – it’s about ensuring you’re accessing everything that will really help.
If there’s something missing or you feel like you could use a bit more support, we’ll help you work through that too.
Knowing What the NDIS Covers
It’s also important to know what’s covered in your NDIS plan and what isn’t.
The NDIS isn’t a free-for-all, and it doesn’t cover everything.
By understanding what’s included in your plan, you can focus on the supports that matter most to your loved one.
Be Present and Patient
Above all, be present and patient throughout the therapy process.
Let the person know they are supported every step of the way.
This patience and presence will foster trust and help them feel more comfortable and confident. - Laura-Jane
