Disability Support in Melbourne

• Explaining Your Options
  We break down each part of the NDIS—from funding categories to available supports—so you can fully understand your plan and make the best choices for your needs.

• Developing a Personalized Plan
  Working closely with you (and your family or carers, if you like), we identify your goals and align your services accordingly. We also keep you informed about any changes or opportunities that could enhance your support.

• Connecting You with the Right Providers
  Our network of trusted service providers ensures you have access to high-quality care and resources. We streamline referrals and help schedule appointments, so you have one less thing to worry about.

• Managing Finances and Paperwork
  From overseeing budgets to handling invoices, we take care of the administrative details. This reduces stress and ensures your funds are spent efficiently and transparently.

• Ongoing Support and Adjustments
  We regularly review your plan to see how things are going, celebrate your progress, and make any necessary adjustments. That way, you always have the right supports in place as your needs evolve.

Accessing or updating your NDIS plan doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Initial Eligibility & Access

   • Contact the NDIA: If you’re new to the NDIS, get in touch with the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) to confirm eligibility.
   • Complete the Application: Submit relevant documentation and assessments to start your NDIS journey.

2. Planning Meetings

   • Initial Plan: Once approved, you’ll meet with an NDIA planner or Local Area Coordinator (LAC) to discuss your goals and determine the right supports.
   • Plan Review: You can request a review if your circumstances change or you need additional services. Annual reviews are also common to ensure you’re still receiving the best possible supports.

3. Making Updates or Changes

   • Mid-Plan Changes: If something changes in your life (e.g., new goals, different living arrangements), you can ask for a plan reassessment (previously known as an unscheduled review).
   • Evidence & Supporting Documents: Provide any updated medical or therapy reports that support your request.

4. How We Can Help

   • Alpha Disability Support: We guide you through each step—from gathering paperwork to preparing for review meetings—and make sure your plan aligns with your current needs and aspirations.
   • Advocacy & Guidance: Our team can advocate on your behalf, clarify jargon, and liaise with the NDIA to simplify the process for you.

By staying proactive and informed, you can ensure your plan remains a true reflection of your goals—and we’re here every step of the way to support you.

The NDIS also connects anyone with disability to services in their community.

This includes connections to doctors, community groups, sporting clubs, support groups, libraries and schools, as well as providing information about what support is provided by each state and territory government.
