1. Pre-planning
Careful planning is needed to prepare for
the NDIS. It is important to think about
what your life is like now, what your immediate
support needs are and what your current and
future goals might be. It is also important to
gather information from your existing support
providers, allied health professionals, specialist
doctor or GP to understand your support needs
2. Developing your plan
You will be contacted by the National
Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) to
set up a planning meeting. To create your first
plan you will meet with an NDIS representative
or Local Area Coordinator to have a conversation
about your current situation and supports. Your
plan may include informal supports, community
supports, mainstream supports, and reasonable
and necessary funded supports. A representative
can be there to help.
3. Starting your plan
Once your plan is approved, it is time to
action it. There are supports available to
help you implement and monitor your plan, this
is called coordination. Support Coordinators will
link you with providers such as Just Better Care,
address any barriers to accessing services and
help to gain more independence.
4. Turning your plan into action
Just Better Care believes each person
has the right to choice and control
over their life, so each local office has a range of
options to support you in all aspects of your life.
We take the time to get to know you, identifying

goals - whether it’s career aspirations, exploring a
