NDP Community

Dear NDP Community, 

I am reaching out to see how people are feeling amid the flood of information that is coming out from the commission findings and NDIS review. 

There is so much to process and so much that is yet to come, it is hard to get a sense about "What does this mean for me or my clients?"

Navigating uncertainty is a challenge in the best of times, but navigating together may help smooth the journey.  

I thought this thread might be a good space to share links to helpful websites, webinars, presentation slides, summaries, interesting Linked in posts or thought leaders, etc. to help each other navigate finding helpful resources to process information relevant to different areas. 

Warm regards, 
Anne

Brendon Grail posts on Linked In with some interesting summaries of long documents that the NDIS published. 

This is not a full endorsement of his perspectives but an example of someone who is trying to share boiled down versions as a way of prompting discussion and awareness. 

What do you think?

"NDIS Review recommendations are just 2 weeks away, but courtesy of some very clear messaging by the Review team in recent months, we can take a guess at what some of the key changes may look like, and how long they may take to be implemented. Attached below is my crystal ball-gazing take on the Review's Top 10 priorities."

Hi Anne,

Thank you for your post and the useful resources. 

Indeed there is a lot to process and it would be great if other members of this community joined this discussion, so we can all learn and exchange some important information.

Thanks Mary, 

How are you guys going?

A recent discussion we are having relating to the PACE roll out and delay is starting communications with our customers to reassure them we will work with them to smooth the process (to the best of our ability) and also with plan managers to try to get a sense of how they are planning to change their practices now that they will need to bulk upload. We are keeping our finance teams involved as turn around time for claiming and receipt of revenue may be significantly delayed with high dependency on plan manager practices. How are you preparing?
