Thank you again everyone for this opportunity to discuss the NDIS and how it might work for you.
Don't forget there is plenty of information available on the NDIS website, including info on how you can apply and where it is rolling out to next.
https://www.ndis.gov.au/people-disability/access-requirements.html
I think overall it is a positive reform because it really puts the choice and control of how support is delivered in the hands of the right person, you.
You will have more power and discretion to be the director of your own supports and work with a provider who will deliver the support you need. And if they don't, shop around, there is a good provider out there for you.
and (sheepishly) you can always give breakthru a call 1800 767 212 or visit our website to see if where the right provider for you.
Take care,
Ben
