For us to fund NDIS supports while you study, you need to set a study goal in your plan.
This could be a goal to explore further study or be supported to continue studying.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a short-term or long-term goal.
You can talk to your support coordinator, recovery coach, or my NDIS contact about your goals in your plan.
Achieving goals usually takes many different kinds of supports.
NDIS supports may be just one kind of support that helps you work toward your goals.
We’ll need to understand your goals, the type of support and how much support you’ll need to achieve them.
We’ll also talk with you about what your school, tertiary education provider or other mainstream services can provide.
When we decide if an NDIS support will help you pursue your goals, we consider your whole situation.
We look at how a support will address your disability support needs, and the disability specific barriers that prevent you from pursuing your goals.
We look at all the information we have when we decide how much funding to include in your plan.
This includes information from reports or assessments you’ve already given us.
We’ll also consider the things we already know about you, for example the help you need to participate in the community or look after yourself at home.
