Simplifying your NDIS planning 

 

Navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can feel like a complex puzzle, but the right tools can make all the difference. One such invaluable tool is the NDIS Support Calculator. This free and easy-to-use resource helps both participants and providers identify the appropriate services for an individualised funding package, making NDIS planning a breeze.

 

How the NDIS Support Calculator Works

 

The NDIS Support Calculator is designed to assist with pre-planning for eligible participants, review of funded participants, and to provide advice on available NDIS supports. By breaking down the process into manageable steps, it allows users to build a tailored support package and understand the potential costs involved.

Let’s take an example to illustrate how this tool can transform the NDIS planning experience.

 

Meet Sam: A Journey with the NDIS Support Calculator

 

Sam is living with a disability and could benefit from additional support to enhance their quality of life. However, navigating the NDIS and understanding the types of support available and their costs can be overwhelming. This is where the NDIS Support Calculator comes into play.

 

  1. Getting Started: Sam visits SupportCalculator.com.au and selects their region.
  2. Selecting Supports: Sam identifies that they would benefit from increased social interaction. They choose the ‘Increased Social and Community Participation’ support category and the ‘Skills Development in a Group’ support item. They then specify the number of hours per week needed and add it to the calculator.
  3. Adding More Supports: Sam continues to explore other support categories and adds additional items as needed.
  4. Reviewing the Package: The calculator displays the annual cost of each selected item. Sam can print these calculations for future planning or meetings.

By using the NDIS Support Calculator, Sam gains a clearer understanding of the supports they are eligible for and their associated costs. This helps in making informed decisions and planning for the future.
