The National Disability Insurance Scheme or NDIS is a new way to support Australian’s with a disability, and make sure everyone has the support they need to enjoy an ordinary life.

The NDIS helps people under 65 with a permanent and significant disability. Permanent means the disability will not go away.

Significant means the disability affects the things people need to do every day. People with an NDIS plan will get supports and services they need.

There are 3 types of support budgets that might be in your NDIS plan:

  • Core supports Budget
  • Capacity Building Supports Budget
  • Capital Supports Budget

Core Supports mean supports that help you with things:

  • you do every day
  • that help you with your disability
  • that help you meet your goals

Goals are things you want to happen eg. Get a job, make friends, become more independent. The Core Supports budget gives you the most control over your plan money.

NDIS - The National Disability Insurance Scheme-1 Core Supports budget has 4 support areas:

  • Help with your day to day activities. Eg.-cleaner for your house if you cannot clean it yourself or help with dressing or cooking.

A highly successful sales and leadership career working in a number of different and very competitive industries. Engaging with decision makers at all levels in business and government. Three decades employed by corporations, SME businesses in senior roles and almost twelve years operating as a freelance contractor has equipped me well for all aspects of business. Whether leading and mentoring sales teams, or in a direct sales role I enjoy the challenge to meet and exceed expectations. Making a real and tangible difference in either a team environment or as an individual is an important personal goal I have consistently achieved throughout my career. In all of my business and personal dealings over the years there is one issue that stands out above all others - communication. Excellent communication skills creates trust, helps with mutually beneficial outcomes and above all cements long lasting positive relationships. I strive everyday to communicate effectively with the people I encounter.
