When you approach us with your existing NDIS plan, our first priority is understanding you. We are keen to understand your needs and goals, which form the basis for any plan improvement. Once we’ve gained this understanding, we reassess your plan and listen to your ideas on how it can be enhanced. We’re particularly interested in how well your current plan aligns with your needs and supports your goals. Our aim is to improve your plan to deliver the support you need for an independent and fulfilling life.
Seeing the gap between what a person needs and what their NDIS plan covers can be shocking. We immediately think, “This is not enough. It’s not suitable because this person has high needs.” In such cases, we will work closely with you to advocate for your needs and guide you through the appropriate applications. This process can involve arranging reports that provide evidence to support your request for a plan review.
Improving an NDIS plan to the right level can take time but is also satisfying. Our Konnectus team sleeps better at night, knowing that people have support that is more tailored to their needs. There is a great sense of accomplishment and relief; we feel happy for you and your family.
Why do some plans work well and others are inadequate? Several factors greatly determine the standard of a person’s NDIS plan.
- the knowledge and experience of their Support Coordinators,
- clarity and insight into what you need,
- how much time and energy those coordinators put into advocating for you,
- The coordinator’s ability to consider different approaches in problem-solving.
All these factors determine how well your NDIS plan matches your needs.
Only some plans need to be improved. Others might benefit from a trim. If you don’t need support hours, they can become a burden. The last thing you should feel is the pressure to use up your hours. You might enjoy volunteer work, friendships or other activities that get you out and about by yourself. In cases like this, you don’t need the pressure of having to be somewhere or do something related.
We seek a positive alignment between your goals and the services your NDIS plan delivers. The right balance will give you support when you need it delivered in a way that is appropriate to your needs. At the same time, a plan should support your independence and strength-building so that you can grow and reach your goals. The better your Konnectus Support Coordinator understands you, the closer we can arrange an NDIS plan that matches your needs. If your NDIS plan needs to be revised, please get in touch. We’ll work hard to improve that for you.
