NDIS Providers
The primary aim of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is to provide Australians under 65 years of age, with a permanent and significant disability, the individualised support and the flexibility to manage their supports and enjoy a good quality of life.
Within the next five years, the NDIS will provide more than $22 billion a year to 500,000 Australians who are eligible for the NDIS as participants. Presently, the scheme supports 467,000 people with disabilities and a quarter of a million workers (11,600 NDIS Providers).
For organisations delivering services to people with disabilities, a fine line must be walked in order to capitalise on both the economic and social impact opportunities. Examples of this include:
-
Providers must have an unyielding committed to the independence and safety of participants.
-
They should integrate a 'multi-lingual' practise, which enables both understanding and communication in the vernacular required by the layperson and NDIS.
-
Providers should construct a business model that is nimble and responsive to the scheme's complexities and ever-changing nature.
-
Strive to acquire the necessary business acumen needed to lead and run a participant-centred service.

I am very lucky to have found Chris. He is an NDIS industry expert with in depth knowledge and a lot of working experience in the field. It has been a pleasure interacting with him, his thoughts are helpful and I find him a great listener. Working on my strategic planning session with him was really insightful.
