About this webinar:
In this session we will explore NDIS reviews, changes and reassessments, including what information you need to provide.
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. Our workshops are free, online, and will allow you to hear from sector experts, and participate in a live Q&A with members of the Amaze team.
Kim and Amaze experts will lead you through all the ins and outs of the NDIS, with sessions and content spanning from “101 introductions” to more detailed topics. We warmly invite 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 each workshop presentation.
September 27th: 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.
Any questions about the NDIS should be sent directly to [email protected] prior to the event.
