New from the NDIA: service agreement resources 📝

A service agreement is what you and a provider agree about your NDIS supports. The NDIA has recently released a template, a checklist, guidance and Easy Read resources to make them clearer and easier to use. They were developed with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.

Here's what they're for:
✓ Helping participants be more informed consumers
✓ Making sure everyone is clear on the agreed supports
✓ Showing you what to look for when you review an agreement

Good to know:
• Using the template is optional, and if a provider uses it they need to tailor it to you
• The NDIA doesn't record or enforce service agreements. They're between you and your provider
• You don't need to send yours to the NDIA

Whether you're booking for yourself or someone you care for, it's worth a read before your next booking. Links are in the comments.

Have a question about an agreement with us? Ask any time. We're happy to talk it through.

Thinking about changing your NDIS plan? Here's how asking for a reassessment works right now 📋

A plan reassessment is for when your support needs have changed significantly and your current plan no longer fits.

What to know:
✓ The request needs to come from the participant, their plan nominee or their child representative. A provider can't make it on your behalf
✓ Use the plan reassessment request form and include recent evidence of the change in your needs
✓ You can keep using your current plan while the NDIA decides
✓ The NDIA will let you know its decision within 90 days
✓ If your plan is mostly working, the NDIA may decide a plan variation suits you better than a full reassessment

Need a hand with the form? Your my NDIS contact is a good first call, and the full details are on the NDIS website (link in the comments).

Save this for when your plan needs a refresh 🔖

New safeguards are being rolled out across the NDIS to help protect participants 🛡️

The NDIA is funding new community access workers in remote communities to help people understand the NDIS and their rights.

Here's what you need to know:
• Positions are being introduced in 17 remote communities in the NT, plus 8 in Queensland and 4 in NSW
• The roles are funded by the NDIA and drawn from local Aboriginal health services
• The aim is to help people understand the scheme, their rights and the supports available to them

Why it matters: wherever you live, and whether you're choosing support for yourself or someone you care for, you deserve a provider who's upfront, accountable and easy to ask questions of. That's the standard we hold ourselves to every day.

A white cane is a tool for independence.

Today is White Cane Day, and a great reminder that small changes in how we behave around people who are blind or have low vision make a real difference to their day.

A few ways to be a great support:

✓ Say hello and who you are before you offer help, and wait for a yes
✓ Ask before touching the cane or offering an arm
✓ Describe things clearly ("the door is on your left ")
✓ Let people know when you're moving away from the conversation
✓ Keep paths and doorways clear

For anyone planning a short-term stay, tell us what helps you find your way around a new place, whether that's for yourself or someone you care for. We'll work flexibly around it.

Save this for later 📌
