What is a NDIS Navigator?
The NDIS Navigator role emerged to help people better understand and implement the NDIS program confidently and efficiently. The NDIS Navigator distinguishes itself from conventional support roles by assisting individuals in mastering the NDIS system before service selection begins.
Key Points about the NDIS Navigator:
- Provides comprehensive explanations of NDIS rules, funding details, and terminology to keep you informed throughout your journey.
- Presents all possible supports, including community activities, therapies, and service providers.
- It enables you to select the best choices for your disability support planning by offering complete information, ensuring that you will achieve your goals with assurance.
- Serves as your essential starting point for clarity when you need help or want to learn about your choices.
How Does NDIS Navigator Differ from
NDIS Support Coordination?
The Navigator is your first contact point, providing reassurance about your plan and the selection process. After receiving NDIS Navigator assistance, participants can access Support Coordination for ongoing support during implementation.
NDIS Navigators and Support Coordinators have distinct but complementary roles:
- NDIS Navigator: Helps you understand the NDIS system, develop service options, and create a future.
- NDIS Support Coordinator: Assists participants in executing and maintaining their selected support services after approval.
Ongoing Changes in the NDIS System
The National Disability Insurance Scheme continues to transform itself to better support its participants and families.
- Navigators now help from the beginning of your NDIS journey, ensuring you never have to navigate the system alone.
- Support Coordination has evolved to focus on achieving your objectives rather than just system explanation or service acquisition.
With these changes:
- A Navigator provides immediate clarification about your plan.
- A Navigator helps select supports that fit your requirements and values.
- Support Coordination helps you implement decisions and resolve obstacles.
Participants can maintain their independence and preserve their dignity by selecting the proper tools and products for their specific continence conditions.
