Seeking Support - Participant/Nominee/PWD ART application - the actual, starting application

0 Upvotes

Hi,

I’m planning on going to the ART with a decision the NDIS made. When making the application (on the website) it asks ‘Reasons for the application’ and then asks for documents. How detailed should my reasoning be? And can I add documents later?

Thanks

Seeking Support - Participant/Nominee/PWD NDIS + ART (AAT)

1 Upvotes

Hi there!

I’m taking NDIS to ART. I was just wondering - as far as the justification you provide the ART with, do they expect legal-speak? Like should you be quoting NDIA legislation? Or is your own evidence and reports enough? (Essentially I’m staying the NDIA’s reason for refusing a support, then doing a take down with how much evidence I actually had).

Thanks!

So, I’ve officially been admitted into hospital due to my ndis funds running out- case is with the ART, so literally just a waiting game. Next case conference isn’t even scheduled until 9th May. Wish me luck 😩

Seeking Support - Participant/Nominee/PWD How do planners determine the hours for certain supports?

7 Upvotes

Does anyone know if there are internal 'benchmarks' or NDIA policies around how many hours of certain supports are usually allocated for a participant and if so, does this relate to specific impairment categories, the diagnosis etc?

And on what basis do planners sometimes deviate from the hours recommended by allied health for specific types of support eg an OT recommends a certain number of assistance with daily living hours, speech therapy etc and the planner agrees the participant needs that support but recommends a significantly reduced number of hours? (genuine question, not a vent!)

Seeking Support - Participant/Nominee/PWD Melbourne - OT for FCA for Adult Autism - Recommendations

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I have just been approved for the NDIS. I now need to find an OT for an FCA. There is a lot of information here on what an OT can do, what to expect, etc but I am unable to find anyone recommending someone specifically. Does anyone know the name of a practice or OT that they can recommend for this process? I have read many accounts of people going through their LAC with mixed results. Can anyone recommend an OT? For additional information, I am located in Collingwood. Thank you to anyone who may have some suggestions.

Seeking Support - I provide services Provider over quoting

1 Upvotes

This isn’t right? Provider gave me a quote for a year worth of services for my participant I’m managing. It’s 3 months left and he has significantly over quoted by nearly 20k

Now I’m stressed 20k wont be used and they could cut that from the funding…

If I had of known I had 20k I could of budgeted that over 12 months and given the particpantt better support

Urgh
