The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a needs-based scheme from the government that provides funding for people with a disability. If you are a Melbourne resident with a disability, you may be eligible for NDIS funding. In this blog post, PWD Care, a registered NDIS disability services provider in Melbourne, provides some tips on how to make the most of your NDIS funding.

One of the best ways to make the most of your NDIS funding is to get organised and plan ahead. This means having all your paperwork in order and knowing exactly what support you need and when you need it. You will need to develop a plan with your case worker that outlines your goals and the NDIS disability support services you will need to achieve those goals. Once your plan is approved, you will be allocated a certain amount of funding. It is important to note that you cannot request more money than what is allocated in your plan. Planning ahead will also help you stay within your budget and avoid any surprises.

There are a lot of providers out there who can offer you the care support services you need, so it’s important to take the time to shop around and find one that is a good fit for you. When you’re looking for a provider, be sure to ask about their experience working with people with a disability, as well as their fees and cancellation policy.  Not all service providers are created equal. Some may be more expensive than others but offer better quality services. It is important to do your research and find a service provider that meets your needs and budget. 

It’s also important to keep track of your spending so that you know where your money is going. This includes keeping receipts and invoices as well as tracking your expenses in a budget. The NDIS provides participants with a Myplace portal where they can track their spending and see how much money they have left in their plan. This is a valuable tool that can help you stay on budget and make sure you are getting the most out of your NDIS funding. Keeping track of your spending on different disability services and support can help you stay on top of your finances and avoid overspending.
