NDIS SUPPORT

NDIS

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) may provide funding for eligible RDA Alice Springs participants.

What are NDIS Supports?

The NDIS provides funding for supports that are relevant to each individual and to enable the participant to achieve the goals and aspirations within their NDIS plan.

To identify which supports you will need in your first plan, the NDIS will discuss your current situation and tailor a plan to reflect your individual circumstances. The participant is then free to exercise choice and control over which specific program or provider would be able to assist them with meeting their goals.

For a support to be funded it needs to be linked to an outcome identified in your plan.

In RDA Alice Springs’ case, the NDIS will provide funding for ‘Innovative Community Participation’. This means the NDIS will fund the reasonable and necessary costs for an individual to access and participate in activities in this category.

RDA Fees

Each participant of RDA Alice Springs pays an annual registration fee which encompasses insurance. Riding fees are invoiced per term and are GST free – as is the annual registration fee. You will need to let RDA Alice Springs know if you are self-managed (in which case the invoicing goes straight to you) or plan-managed (in which case we send the invoices to NDIS). For a copy of the schedule of fees, please email us at the address below.

How can RDA Alice Springs help support your NDIS Plan?

We would like to provide each participant with tailored information to take to their next NDIS planning/review session. This may include a quote for the program, program goals, and additional documentation on support needs or anticipated outcomes.

If your plan reviews are coming up soon, please let our centre manager know so that we can book a time to speak with you prior to the review.
