THE rollout of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) on the Mornington Peninsula next year will affect those in the mental health sector. Registered NDIS provider Mentis Assist, formerly Peninsula Support Services, is holding a free information forum later this month to discuss the NDIS and how it applies to those in the sector. It will be available on the Mornington Peninsula from April. The forum will be held 11am-1pm, Wednesday 20 September, at Frankston Football Club (Graham Room), Plowman Place, Frankston. Lunch will be served afterwards. Topics to be discussed include eligibility criteria for funding for those with a psychosocial disability as a result of mental illness. The session will also outline the application process, from initial contact from the NDIA to receiving a package and creating a personalised care plan.
