Anyone started with the NDIS?

Anyone started with the NDIS?

Tells my story from initial application (Feb '17) to acceptance by NDIS (July '18) and the process of putting things in place and progress, improvements, managing and difficulties since then. Now Jan '21.

Original post : I've recently moved and will need to get into the NDIS in my new location. Wondering if anyone in the forums has successfully done this? Any advice would be welcome. Feeling swamped by their website.

EDIT : I was finally accepted to the NDIS and am now 3/4 through my 2nd plan. With only a small reduction from the first year. And this plan is for 2 years so I don't have to jump through all the hoops with a review this time next year. To all others on this path I say ........

IT'S REALLY WORTH PERSEVERING!!!

Hoping this thread helps all who come here.

@Bunniekins @Queenie @Mazarita nothing like a bit of shake-a-leg to bring any support in the ether to me.

Re: Anyone started with the NDIS?

Thanks @outlander sorry for the delay, I just got your notification.

Winding down now listening to David Hyams and The Miles To Go Band - it's beautiful music from Perth. Guitars, pipes, uelian, mandolin, bodhran - music to immerse yourself in.
Nite nite everyone @Mazarita @Queenie @Former-Member and anyone else still here. Take care all.

Hoping I can get some sleep tonight but not really expecting to. I'll check in on A Long Rave in case anyone still wants to chat.

Re: Anyone started with the NDIS?

Not everyone has as difficult a path as I have had, but then again not everyone would keep fighting for it to the highest level as I am doing thanks to the support I have at home from bro and sil. A lot of people with 'psychosocial' conditions (what NDIS calls mental illness) have no support and many don't have the capacity to persevere through what I've experienced. I hope that the thread I'm doing will help at least some people have a better pathway and successful outcome.
