Adelaide, July 13, 2018: Once you receive your National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plan, you need to choose what support you will access. With the NDIS plan, you can have choices and control over the funds you will be provided to achieve your goals. Therefore, it is essential to choose one of the best NDIS service providers who can help you implement your NDIS plan. When choosing a service provider, you should keep some key factors in mind that will guide your decision-making.

Support to navigate the NDIS process

There is no denying that the NDIS is a significant change for people with disability and their family members. However, the NDIS plan is complicated, and some people are unable to understand it. Some disability service providers have extensive information on this plan. It is better to choose a provider who is responsive to different queries. Some providers also help people prepare their NDIS plan.

Easy to understand service agreements

The service agreement of an NDIS plan explains how the service provider will assist you to use the disability support services. It is expected that the NDIS provider should give you an easy-to-understand service agreement. The agreement should include necessary information such as what support to be offered, the cost of the support, and how to pay. Moreover, the service agreement should not contain complication clauses, and terms and conditions.

Specialisation in disability support

Not all NDIS providers specialise in delivering disability services to children and adults as some providers can only provide special types of support. Hence, it is advisable to choose a service provider based on the kind of disability one has. When some people prefer to receive all disability supports through a single service provider, others use different service providers for different supports. Whichever option you choose, make sure that the providers understand your requirements.

Customisation

Ideally, it is better to go with a service provider who can tailor or customise the support services to meet the specific requirements of the clients, their family and carers. Here, the NDIS service provider should listen to the client and understand their goals. This ensures that he or she will help them achieve their goals.
