NDIS & Advocacy

• Supporting families with reports, evidence, and strategies to secure or continue funding

OTs often support families navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) by providing evidence-based reports, recommendations, and guidance for funding applications.

Key points:

• Documentation and reporting: Writing clear, concise OT reports that outline functional needs, goals, and strategies.

• Evidence for funding: Demonstrating the child’s needs through observation, assessment, and intervention outcomes.

• Advocacy: Supporting families to articulate their child’s strengths, challenges, and required supports during NDIS planning meetings.

• Ongoing review: Assisting families to update plans and provide additional evidence for continued funding as the child’s needs evolve.
