NDIS at Distinctive Options
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has been created to give individuals greater choice and control over the services or supports they want. Distinctive Options is a registered NDIS provider. This means that you can use your NDIS funding to access the services that we provide.
We will work with you to identify what supports you require to achieve your goals. We want to know:
- What do you need
- When do you need this
- Where do you want this
Our dedicated and experienced managers offer ongoing support to all participants and their families, from pre-planning all the way through to plan reviews.
NDIS Plan Support
We can help you learn about the NDIS, identify your needs and goals, support you to implement your plan and participate in plan reviews. This support will help ensure you get the best plan you can.
Information and Support
Our NDIS coordinator is here to provide you with information about the NDIS and support you throughout your NDIS journey.
Pre Planning
We can discuss your current activities and support needs and help you develop a list of supports that you can bring to your NDIS meeting.
Monitoring progress and preparing for reviews
Our NDIS Coordinator and your Area Coordinator monitor your progress throughout the lifetime of your plan and will help you prepare for your annual NDIS review meeting.
