Welcome to 2017 and NDIS Planning
As outlined in letters to you over the past few months , the NDIS rollout will gain momentum in 2017 . This will be impacting you personally and we have been working hard to pull together the information available to us so that we can offer recommendations for you to consider as you enter the NDIS .
As always , EBL is committed to supporting you to be as prepared as possible for your NDIS planning meeting . We know that a huge portion of NDIS clients have their NDIS decisions made by their families and for this reason we are committed to supporting each family to create the best possible pre-planning information pack .
It is important for you to understand that you are in control . It is completely your decision whether or not to consider any of the options presented to you and we respect your choices whatever they may be . Our only aim is to support you to be prepared so that you can maximise your supports under this new National Disability Insurance Scheme . One parent who has been through the process with us already wrote into us about her experience in a letter shared on the page to follow .
