Understanding your NDIS Plan with Pasco Care

Hey there! If you're feeling a bit lost about how to make the most of your NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) plan, you're not alone. Many people ask, "Where do I start?" or "How can I ensure I'm getting the right support?" Let's break it down together.

What's My Care Plan Anyway?


Demystifying Your NDIS Plan


Think of your NDIS plan as a roadmap. It's a document that outlines your goals, the support you need, and how you'll use your NDIS funding to achieve those goals. It's all about you and what you want to accomplish.


Why Bother with a Care Plan?


You might wonder, "Do I really need a detailed plan?" Absolutely! A well-thought-out care plan ensures you're using your resources effectively and getting the support that's right for you.


Plus, it helps everyone involved understand your needs and preferences.


My Care Plan develops the support you need to manage your Plan

Types of Support - What's Available?


Core Supports - Everyday Essentials


These are the services that help you with daily activities. Whether it's assistance with personal care, help around the house, or getting out and about in the community, core supports are there to make daily life easier.


My Care Plan


We can provide Training and Development of skills in Self-Management and Plan Management, assisting you as needed to manage your NDIS Plan independently.


Supports are designed to strengthen self-management skills and to manage your supports effectively as independent as possible.


Capacity Building - Building Your Skills


Ever thought about learning new skills or becoming more independent? Capacity building supports are designed for that. They focus on areas like:


  • Choice & Control: Helping you make your own decisions.
  • Support Coordination Level 1: Support Connection: Assisting you in understanding and managing your NDIS plan.
  • Psychosocial Recovery Coaching: Supporting those with mental health challenges to live a fulfilling life.


NDIS Support Coordination - Level 2


For more complex situations, Level 2 support coordination offers advanced assistance. Coordinators work closely with you to design and manage supports, link you with various services, and help resolve any issues that come up.

Self-Management - Taking the Reins


What Does Self-Management Mean?


Self-management gives you the freedom to manage your NDIS funding. You choose your providers, negotiate services, and handle the financial aspects. It's all about taking control.


Is Self-Management Right for You?


Many people ask, "Can I handle self-management?" If you're organized and want flexibility, it could be a great fit. But it's okay if you prefer someone else to manage it; there are options for that too.


Psychosocial Recovery Coaching


Psychosocial recovery coaching helps people manage mental health challenges. Coaches support planning, skill-building, and daily routines.


They break tasks into simple steps for stability. Coaches also connect clients with community support. NDIS determines who qualifies for this service.

How to Get Started with Self-Management


  1. Set Up a Separate Bank Account: Keep your NDIS funds organized.
  2. Choose Your Providers: They don't have to be NDIS-registered, giving you more options.
  3. Keep Good Records: Track your spending and keep invoices.

Answering Your Big Questions

  • Isn't Self-Management Too Complicated?

    It might seem daunting, but with the right support and resources, many find it empowering. Plus, there are plenty of tools and communities to help you along the way.

  • Do I Have to Do Everything Myself?

    Absolutely Not! You can self-manage some parts of your plan while leaving others in the hands of the pros.


    It’s like building a custom meal – pick and choose what works for you while leaving the tricky bits to someone else. Balance is key.


  • What If I Make a Mistake?

    Everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is to keep good records and ask for help when you need it. The NDIS provides resources to guide you.
