Healthy Minds Webcast Series // NDIS info session// Tues 13 Sep

Healthy Minds Webcast Series // NDIS info session// Tues 13 Sep

As part of the Healthy Minds Webcast Series, our third sessions focused on the NDIS.

Some things we covered were:

  • What does the NDIS mean in the ‘Mental Health’ community and how will it support my psychosocial needs?
  • How is the NDIS different from current community based mental health programs?
  • How can I access the NDIS?
  • Where do I find providers? And can I continue to use my current provider?

We were joined by Ben from Break Thru to get some guidence.

Don't forget to watch:

Re: Healthy Minds Webcast Series // NDIS info session// LIVE NOW

Thank you again everyone for this opportunity to discuss the NDIS and how it might work for you.

Don't forget there is plenty of information available on the NDIS website, including info on how you can apply and where it is rolling out to next.

https://www.ndis.gov.au/people-disability/access-requirements.html

I think overall it is a positive reform because it really puts the choice and control of how support is delivered in the hands of the right person, you.

You will have more power and discretion to be the director of your own supports and work with a provider who will deliver the support you need. And if they don't, shop around, there is a good provider out there for you.

and (sheepishly) you can always give breakthru a call 1800 767 212 or visit our website to see if where the right provider for you.

Take care,

Ben
