Here are some of our frequently asked questions

 
 

+ What do you do and where do you do it?

We assist people of all ages across Australia with gaining access to the NDIS and ensuring you receive adequate funding through Access Requests, Pre-Planning Documents and Review Documents.

+ How do you do it?

Firstly, we need a copy of the current plan and any reports you intend on submitting. We then work through the information together to come up with your own individual documents.

+ What do you need from me in order to start the process?

To start the process we require a signed Serviced Agreement. This outlines the agreement between us. Recent reports from your allied health therapists are the most helpful. If your reports are older than 3 months, then we recommend you ask your providers to update the reports.

+ What does the process look like?

We start off with a telephone consultation so we can get to know each other, and we can explain the process and answer any questions you may have. If you choose to engage Inspires & Co you are required to sign a Service Agreement inline with NDIS guidelines. This will allow us to commence the process of reviewing your plan.

For S100 Reviews You have 90 days from the start date of the plan that is being reviewed to submit a ‘Review of a Reviewable Decision’.

After that we ask that you complete our questionnaire. This will give us most of the information that we need to start preparing your report.

After reviewing the information provided, we will work with you to complete a review document for you to submit to the NDIS.

The Inspires & Co process can take anywhere from two weeks to 2 months depending on how quickly the information is delivered to us.

Once the S100 document is submitted online to the NDIS the review process can take up to three months depending on the NDIS processing times.

+ How much does it cost?

The cost of this service depends on the complexities of the plan. As it is very individualised, we agree the cost up front. Payment is due once the service agreement is signed.

+ How do you get paid?

A price is agreed at the start of the process, if you decide you want us to help you. Our services can be paid for out of the current NDIS plan

+ How long does it take?

It is very dependent on how quickly we receive the information. Anywhere from two weeks to 2 months. You have three months from the date of the plan that is being reviewed to submit a ‘Review of a Reviewable Decision’.

 

+ Do I need an existing plan for you to help me?

No – we can assist with Access Requests and Pre-Planning Meetings too.

+ How long does a review take?

Usually up to a week but some plans are being reviewed more quickly. This is totally dependent on the NDIA. Sometimes there can be a wait of up to 3 months before your application for review will be considered by the NDIA.

+ What types of disabilities do you cover?

All types of disabilities including Complex. We are specialists in Autism Spectrum Disorder.

+ What types of services do you offer?

NDIS Access Requests forms and preparation, Pre-Planning Documents and NDIS Review Documents if you’re not happy with your plan. We also assist with understanding your plan once the review has been completed and can help you find the right supports in your area.

+ Do you manage the plans once they are finalised?

That is up to you. We offer ongoing Support Coordination if you choose to engage Inspires & Co to implement the new plan. We are not plan managers (people who pay your invoices).

+ How does the document get submitted?

Everything is submitted online and via email.

+ Why do you do this?

We have decided to help people on their NDIS journey as we too have had to navigate the NDIS pathway which at times has been confusing, emotional and sometimes more detrimental to people’s lives. We offer an easy experience; We will hold your hand the entire journey, so you don’t have to go through what we went though. Our aim is to change people’s lives for the better.
