Great news for the South Western Sydney area and Bankstown, the NDIS is rolling out on the 1st July 2016. It is
expected to bring lots of positive changes to you and your family.
You will be contacted soon by one of the Local Access Coordinator (LAC) to discuss if you meet NDIS disability or
early intervention access criteria. If you are eligible to access the NDIS, a planner from NDIS will arrange to meet at a
time and place that is convenient for you where you will discuss things that are important to you, and what you would
like to include in your Individual NDIS Plan. Your Plan will determine which supports will best meet your needs and
help you achieve your life goals.
To help you think about and identify your needs, what you would like to be included in your plan, and assist your
planner with information to ensure you get the rights supports and services, you can access a copy of the NDIS
Planning Guide and Workbook at http://www.ndis.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/planning_guide.pdf.
The NDIS packages are expected to commence rolling out in our area between Aug and Dec 2016 so it is vital that
you prepare and think about what supports you would need to meet your life goals now. You need to think about your
daily routine, living arrangements, and current supports and services from other people and agencies.
Our Disability team understand change is overwhelming and scary that is why we want to provide you with the tools
need it for your future planning meeting though a series of NDIS workshops and resources.
Creating Links will keep you informed about workshop dates and venues throughout the term.
We would like to welcome our new Disability Respite worker Narayan, who joined our team in May.
