❓Did you know?

Once you are approved for the NDIS and receive your plan, the journey is far from over — in fact, for many, it’s just the beginning of a confusing and often overwhelming process.

❓Did you know ?

The NDIS will typically send your plan to you by email or post — and that’s it. No explanation. No step-by-step guidance. No personalised help to understand what your plan actually means.

❓Did you know ?

Most people are left holding a document filled with jargon, codes, and unfamiliar terms, with absolutely no idea where to start. You’re not told:
• What your funding categories mean
• What kind of supports you’re eligible for
• How to connect with trusted providers
• Who can help you navigate the system
• What your rights and options are

❓Did you know ?

You’re not told about Support Coordination, Plan Management, or how to access therapies, assistive technology, or community participation programs.

❓Did you know ?

You’re not shown where to go, how to ask for help, or even how to use the portal properly. Many are left to figure it out alone — and for people with disabilities and their families, this lack of guidance can be distressing, disempowering, and in some cases, even dangerous.

❓Did you know ?

The system, designed to support, too often leaves people behind before they’ve even begun.

We need to talk about this. We need to change this.

Because access to a plan is not the same as access to support. And everyone deserves to be included, empowered, and truly supported.

Help us raise awareness, support others, and educate our community.

Everyone deserves to know what’s really going on.
Let’s make sure no one is left behind.
