BUILD YOUR
SUPPORT NETWORK

Connect with community organisations, support groups, and peer networks for support and a sense of belonging.

REGULARLY REVIEW
AND REASSESS

Ensure your goals are up to date and discuss any changes with your support coordinator or service provider.

EXPLORE MAINSTREAM SERVICES

Stay connected with other mainstream services such as your GP or employment services to compliment your NDIS services.

Remember, the NDIS is designed to support your individual needs and goals. By actively engaging in the planning process, communicating effectively, and staying proactive, you can make the most of your NDIS plan and achieve positive outcomes.

UNDERSTAND YOUR PLAN

Pivot can help you understand your plan, the funding categories and how this relates to your goals.

MAINTAIN REGULAR CONTACT

Stay in communication with your support coordinator, providers, and any other professionals involved in your care. Regularly update them on your progress, challenges, and any changes in your circumstances that may impact your NDIS plan.

SET CLEAR GOALS

Look at the goals in your plan and communicate with your support coordinator and service providers how you would like to work towards achieving these goals.
