How Can United Disability Assist Me in Utilising my NDIS plan?

At United Disability Care, we have a range of services and supports available under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) framework. Our staff understand the new NDIS government scheme that has been designed to provide you with choice and ongoing assistance. At United Disability, we believe that you should only use a service provider that offers you the best possible support – and we hope that you choose us.

You can find information about your NDIS pathway and how United Disability can assist you in your service support on this page. We offer NDIS services in Brisbane,  Logan,  the Gold Coast,  the Tweed Coast,  Byron Shire,  Coffs Harbour, Maitland, Gawler and surrounding regions.

My First Plan:
Your NDIS First Plan is the start of a lifelong relationship with the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). Your NDIS Planner will be initially focused on the continuity of your existing support when transitioning to the scheme.

With thousands of people living with a disability moving to the NDIS, the First Plan aids in the simplification of the transition. It has been designed to allow swift entry into the scheme. Your First Plan will be finalised after your planning meeting.

The implementation of the First Plan allows clients adequate time to assess their needs, develop goals and explore the available options for their next plan.

Your next plan may include additional supports that provide you with the opportunity to explore options and get involved in your local community – such as sports clubs and community groups.

Starting My Plan with United Disability Care

Once your plan is approved and you receive your funding, all previous funding for your disability supports will be stopped effective immediately. Therefore, to ensure your existing services continue as per normal, it’s important to let United Disability Care know that your plan has been approved as soon as you receive it.

Depending on your situation, there are a range of people who can help you implement your plan and support you to start receiving supports. You can start your plan on your own if you are self-managed or with the support of a United Disability Care Support Coordinator.
Our Support Coordinators assist you in strengthening your ability to coordinate and implement your plan, helping you to boost your formal and informal network and coordinate a range of both funded and mainstream supports that you choose.

Your United Disability support coordinator will assist you in achieving your plan goals, through the provision of:

  • Service agreement development
  • Fund management
  • Service referral and community linkage
  • Resolve queries and concerns

Before you start your plan review, the below steps should be considered when reviewing your NDIS plan:

  • Think about your life now. What supports are currently helping you and which ones are not?
  • Identify your strengths, interests, opportunities and challenges.
  • Consider your current informal, community and mainstream supports.
  • Think about your future goals. What do you want to achieve?

Write the above points down and schedule a meeting with your United Disability Service Leader in anticipation of your review. This may help with your preparation.

As a Participant of the NDIS and a member of the United Disability Care family we will support you during your Plan Review. We provide disability care in Brisbane, Logan, the Gold Coast, the Tweed Heads and surrounds.
