INQUIRY INTO IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE SCHEME AND THE PROVISION OF DISABILITY SERVICES IN NEW SOUTH WALES
Name: Mr Andrew Brak Date Received: 23 July 2018
Some suggestions to improve the outcome and flexibility of a NDIS plan for a person with a disability:
- Make it possible to transfer funds from one Support Area to a different Support Area if required.
- If there are funds left at the end of the annual plan these funds should be made available for the new plan without leaving a time gap between plans as it happens now.
- At the moment Unscheduled Plan Reviews take a long time to be acted upon. This delay can have a negative impact on the outcomes of the Plan.
All this comes from our experience as parents dealing with our son’s plan. We sincerely hope these serious problems will be fixed urgently. Thank you.
