NDIS Basics - The Participant Journey

The NDIS process is a tricky journey, and many people find themselves taking a wrong turn before they’ve even been approved. But just like with any road trip, being in the driver’s seat and knowing what to expect makes the ride so much smoother.

This free online webinar will explore every stop on the road to the NDIS and beyond, so that you can be prepared, be proactive, and get yourself to where you want to go, leaving the overwhelm behind and get the most from your plan.

In this webinar we explore:

1. Applying for the NDIS

2. Your first planning meeting

3. Implementing your plan

4. Evaluating if your plan is working for you

5. What to do at the end of your plan

Follow along as we navigate the NDIS journey, together.

After watching the webinar, come and chat in the Kinora online community. We can help answer questions specific to your situation and support you on your own journey.
