Are you looking to build your understanding of the NDIS and what it might mean for Autistic people? Amaze is delighted to partner with Kim Henderson from Maroondah City Council to offer regular NDIS workshops tailored specifically for participants with an autism diagnosis. This workshop is free, online, and will allow you to hear from a sector expert, and participate in a live Q&A with members of the Amaze team.
What to expect
Is your plan due for reassessment, have your circumstances changed or do you want a decision to be reviewed? The key to successful reviews, changes and reassessments is providing the right information to the NDIS.
In this session we will explore plan variations, reassessments and reviews of decisions. We will cover what each of these involves and what information you need to provide to the NDIS. We will also discuss Administrative Appeals Tribunals, including how to avoid these and situations where they are necessary.
We welcome registrants to submit any questions to us in advance, and we will endeavour to answer them in the Q&A session at the end of the workshop presentation. Any questions about the NDIS should be sent directly to [email protected] prior to the event.
