FAQ's

If you are eligible, you will need to call NDIS on 1800 800 110 to request an Access Request Form. You may need input from your GP or medical specialist/s as well as copies of any assessment, health care reports or other forms of evidence to support your application. If you already have this information readily available, you are off to a good start with planning for your planning meeting with NDIS! Once you have your Access Request Form, you have 21 business days to return it to NDIS for processing. We are happy to offer you advice on this if you need it.
Once the NDIS have received and processed your Access Request Form, a Local Area Coordinator will contact you to arrange a planning meeting. While you are waiting for this call, it is a good idea to start thinking about what support you need and what you would like in your plan. We are happy to help you gather your thoughts so you are prepared for your meeting.
OSAN Ability Assist can support you and work with you to develop your goals, listen to your needs, preferences and work with you to develop your support plan so you feel ready for your meeting with NDIS. We can talk to you over the phone or meet with you at a location convenient to you. There is no obligation to receive services from OSAN Ability Assist.

Your Planning Meeting can be either face to face in a location convenient to you, or over the phone with a NDIS Planner or a Local Area Coordinator. During this meeting, you’ll be asked about your goals and your day to day life. This is where your NDIS Planning Workbook is helpful. You can bring along a family member, friend or advocate to support you in your planning meeting if you desire. In your meeting, you’ll also be asked to choose a Plan Management Option, which determines who will manage your NDIS Plan and funding.

You may meet more than once in order to create a plan you feel comfortable with. Once you are happy with the plan you have developed with the Planner or Local Area Coordinator, they will submit your plan to the NDIS for approval. You will be advised of the outcome soon after and will be able to start using your funding based on your approved plan.

This is an important decision which will determine who manages your NDIS Plan and funding.

You options are :

Self-Managed
Self-managing any part of your NDIS funding or budget gives you choice and control over the people that you pay to support you. Self-management means you are responsible for requesting and paying the invoices related to the supports you have received through your NDIS plan.

Plan Manager
A registered plan management provider manages the NDIS funding for supports on your behalf. You can receive supports from service providers who are both registered and not registered with the NDIS.

NDIS (Agency) Managed
In this option, service providers claim directly from the NDIS when a support has been provided. The NDIS will only engage service providers who are registered with the NDIS.

Once you have an approved plan, you will need to choose service providers who best suit your needs. Your Planner or Local Area Coordinator will issue you with an access code for myGov where you can then access your NDIS plan through the NDIS Participant Portal. This is also where you can see your budget, service bookings and other information related to NDIS.

You will be supported through this process by your Planner or Local Area Coordinator. Or you can choose to access one or more service providers to provide the supports approved in your plan. Otherwise, You will need to have a service agreement in place with each provider.
