Can I use my NDIS funding for private therapy sessions?

Yes, NDIS funding can be used for private therapy services, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, provided the therapist is a registered NDIS provider. If your therapy is part of your NDIS plan under the Capacity Building or Core Supports categories, you can use your funding to access therapy that helps you meet your goals.

How long does it take to get NDIS funding approval?

The NDIS approval process typically takes up to 21 business days. However, the process may vary based on the complexity of your application, availability of documentation, and current processing times. Once your application is approved, you’ll work with an NDIS planner to develop your personalized care plan.

Can I use NDIS funding to pay for home modifications?

Yes, NDIS funding can cover home modifications to improve accessibility and safety, such as installing ramps, grab rails, wider doorways, or accessible bathrooms. These modifications are typically covered under Capital Supports in your NDIS plan.

What if I don’t use all my NDIS funding?

NDIS funding does not roll over. If you don’t use your funding within your plan period, it will expire at the end of the cycle. It’s important to regularly review your plan and ensure you are maximizing your funding for necessary services. Our team at Ambition Health Group can help ensure you use your funding effectively.

Can I use NDIS funding for disability-related employment support?

Yes, NDIS funding can be used for employment-related services to help you prepare for, obtain, and maintain employment. This includes job coaching, vocational training, and assistance with workplace modifications. These services fall under the Capacity Building Supports category.

How do I know if my NDIS provider is registered?

To check if your NDIS provider is registered, you can search the NDIS Provider Register available on the official NDIS website. Registered providers, like Ambition Health Group, are certified by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) and are compliant with NDIS standards, ensuring quality care and safety.

Can I combine NDIS with other funding programs, like state or federal support?

Yes, you can combine NDIS funding with other funding programs such as state or federal health services or aged care funding. However, NDIS funding cannot be used to duplicate services already covered by other funding programs. Coordination between funding sources helps ensure that all aspects of your care and support are covered.

What happens if my NDIS funding is insufficient to cover all my needs?

If your current NDIS plan doesn’t provide enough funding for your needs, you can request a plan review. You’ll need to provide supporting evidence from your health professionals and demonstrate why additional funding is necessary. At Ambition Health Group, we can guide you through the process of preparing your review request.

Can I use NDIS funding for travel to medical appointments?

Yes, NDIS funding can cover travel to medical appointments, therapy sessions, and community activities, under Transport Supports. If your NDIS plan includes transport funding, you can use it for travel to and from essential appointments related to your disability.

How do I manage my NDIS funding if I have multiple service providers?

You can manage your NDIS funding in several ways: Self-Managed: You control the funds, choose providers, and make payments. Plan-Managed: A third-party manager helps you handle payments and manages service invoices. NDIA-Managed: The NDIA pays providers directly, and you must use NDIS-registered providers. Choosing the right plan management option can help you stay on top of your NDIS funds while ensuring you get the most out of your services.

How do I prepare for an NDIS planning meeting?

Preparing for your NDIS planning meeting is crucial to ensure you receive the appropriate services and funding. Here’s how to prepare: Gather medical documentation – Reports from doctors, therapists, or specialists outlining your needs. Identify goals – Think about your long-term goals and the support you need to achieve them (e.g., independent living, employment). List current services – Note the services you are already using, so your planner knows what you need. Consider your support network – Think about the involvement of family, friends, or other providers.
