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.

Hi @Shaz51 , just replying because you tagged me. And hello to others here, it's been a while since I've been on here.

Good luck with the NDIS application, I hope you get it.

I did apply but they told me they wouldn't fund anything I was looking for which my psychiatrist also requested in the paperwork, so I withdrew my claim. But I guess everyone's circumstances are different & this was a few months ago for me.

But I hope you get yours, best of luck. Take care everyone.

Hey @Shaz51 another thing to be aware of is that you have to prove you've exhausted all available medical mainstream avenues. e.g. need more than medicare will rebate or recognize, or have used a service the maximum no. of times you can e.g. psychology. They are really particular about this.
