On September 1st, planning starts with children, young people and their families in the Nepean Blue Mountains NDIS site in NSW (NBM for short).
The NBM site is considered the first Australian site that is part of the ‘full roll out’ of the NDIS and therefore not a trial site like the others.
Up until June 30 2016, 2000 children (0-17 prior to July 1 this year) will have plans through the NDIS. 1000 of these are expected to be from those already accessing funded services, and 1000 outside of funded services.
We are being told that, as part of the ‘learn, build’ motto, there are some differences in this area, including a new role called a Community Connector which is an NDIA response to helping people feel more prepared before their planning meeting (pre planning support). Community Connectors are employed by Uniting Care but are an NDIS specific role.
Do you have reliable information to share about how the NDIS in this region is going?
Have you had help from one of the Community Connectors yet?
I’ve been going around finding out as much as I can and I am really keen to share what I have learned.
