Question of the day: Where do I start with the NDIS its so complicated.
To start with the NDIS after your husband's stroke, follow these steps:
Check Eligibility : Determine if your husband meets the eligibility criteria for NDIS support. This usually includes having a permanent disability that significantly affects his daily living activities.
Gather Necessary Documentation : Collect medical evidence related to your husband’s condition, including reports from healthcare professionals that detail the impact of the stroke.
Contact the NDIS : Reach out to the NDIS directly via their website or call them to discuss the process and request access to the scheme.
Prepare for Planning Meeting : If he is found eligible, you will have a planning meeting with an NDIS representative. Prepare a list of his goals and the types of support he needs to help with his recovery and daily activities.
Consider Support Coordination : You might want to look into support coordination to help navigate the services available, particularly if it's overwhelming.
Engage with Service Providers : Once approved, connect with service providers who can deliver the necessary supports and therapies your husband requires.
Don't hesitate to ask for help from local supports or organizations that assist families in accessing the NDIS.
