Choice and control for NDIS applicants through Indidg Connect Indidg Connect is providing NDIS services to people with packages and plans or who have disability and would like to apply for the NDIS. “We can help them with the process, put everything together and lodge it with NDIS and that’s working really well. We’re finding lots of people in our community that have disabilities are completely unaware that they’re eligible for the funding so we’re linking them up and supporting them through the process,” Indidg Connect coordinator Ann-Maree Chandler said. Indidg Connect is able to provide culturally sensitive services for NDIS applicants. “There’s ability linkers also, and lots of services around that provide for NDIS. We can all work together and it will provide a bigger blanket of support for people in need. “Indidg Connect also does support coordination for people. We listen to what the participant wants, what the person with the plan wants, and we make all of that happen for them,” Ms Chandler said. “NDIS is about choice and control and having an individual’s voice heard and we’re strongly about that as well.”
