Have you recently moved to a new provider or just started your NDIS journey? Below are the 5 most important things to do to ensure you get the best out of your funding.
1) Ensure that your support coordinator is meeting your needs: oftentimes we get overwhelmed by the amount of information and choices that is presented to us. We tend to just accept what options are presented to us without asking the right questions. My advice is to ask lots of questions, from professionals, direct users, the company you are considering etc. At Valuer Lifecare and Support we give you an unbiased assessment and we are always happy to go through this process until our client is satisfied.
2) Plan Management: Ensure that the services you are paying for are the ones covered by your plan and also start from the most in important and ensure you can save costs by eliminating services you can do without.
3)Research the providers thoroughly and ensure their value system and ethos matches with yours. Your Support is vital so seek help and advice at every point so you get it right.
4)Give the provider a call: First impression they say matters a lot.No matter how many good reviews a company has received, every company is not for everyone speaking with them will either encourage you or discourage you so it is an important first step.
5)Book a meeting and go prepared: I cannot stress enough how important this is as it will save you a lot of money and time. It will also ensure that what you are paying for is what you actually need.
