Once your plan is approved, we’ll ask if you want to meet and talk about how to use your plan. We call this an implementation meeting.
You decide whether or not you want an implementation meeting. It’s usually a good idea to have an implementation meeting when you get your first plan, or if your new plan has a lot of changes from your last plan. If you want to have this meeting, we’ll arrange it within 28 days after we approve your plan.
You’ll have your implementation meeting with your my NDIS contact, support coordinator or psychosocial recovery coach (recovery coach). Your my NDIS contact could be a local area coordinator, early childhood partner or NDIS planner. They can help you start using your plan.
For example, they can help you:
- understand your plan, and what NDIS supports you can buy with your funding
- understand what supports other government services, such as the health or education systems, can provide for you
- connect with your community and other government services
- find providers that meet your needs and will help you pursue your goals
- use the my NDIS portal and app
- make service agreements with your providers
- answer any questions or concerns you have
- ask for a change to your plan if something in your life changes.
If your my NDIS contact is an early childhood partner, they can also help families understand the principles of best practice in early childhood intervention.
