At Abelia Care, we understand the importance of living a fulfilling and independent life, regardless of your disability. The NDIS WA offers valuable support to help participants achieve their goals and aspirations. But navigating the NDIS and maximising its potential can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Here are some proven strategies to help you make the most of your NDIS WA plan and achieve the goals you set for yourself:

1. Define Your Goals Clearly:

Start by setting clear and specific goals for what you want to achieve with NDIS support. This could involve:

• Improving your independence: This might involve learning new skills like self-care, cooking, or managing your finances.
• Increasing your participation in community activities: You might want to join a sports team, volunteer, or pursue hobbies you enjoy.
• Enhancing your employment opportunities: You could set goals related to receiving job training, starting a business, or finding a suitable work placement.

2. Create a Detailed Plan:

Once you have defined your goals, work with your NDIS support coordinator or planner to develop a detailed plan. This plan should outline:

• The specific support and services you need to achieve your goals.
• The budget allocated for each service.
• Timeframes and milestones for measuring your progress.

3. Communicate Effectively:

Open and honest communication with your NDIS support coordinator, provider and planner is crucial. This involves:

• Clearly articulating your needs and preferences.
• Providing regular updates on your progress.
• Asking questions and seeking clarification when needed.

4. Be Proactive and Advocate for Yourself:

Remember, you are in control of your NDIS journey. Don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself and actively participate in making decisions about your plan.

5. Seek Additional Support:

How NDIS WA bringing the change:

Over 220,000 Western Australians currently participate in the NDIS (as of June 2023).

Navigating the journey of NDIS WA isn’t a solitary experience. Joining over 220,000 fellow participants, you become part of a thriving community working towards individual goals and collective empowerment.

The NDIS invested over $9 billion in WA in 2022-23, supporting participants to pursue their goals.

Substantial support is mobilised. The NDIS doesn’t just promise assistance; it commits over $9 billion annually to fuel the dreams and aspirations of Western Australians, solidifying its role as a catalyst for positive change.

Between 2018 and 2022, the number of NDIS participants in WA in employment increased by 31%.

The impact extends beyond personal goals—employment opportunities burgeon. Over the span of four years, a remarkable 31% increase in employed NDIS participants reflects the scheme’s tangible contribution to economic participation and independence.

Studies show that NDIS participants experience increased social inclusion, improved mental health, and enhanced quality of life.

It’s not just about ticking off goals; it’s about fostering a holistic improvement in wellbeing. The research echoes what participants feel daily—heightened social inclusion, fortified mental health, and an overall enhancement in the quality of life, showcasing the profound impact of the NDIS.
