Endeavour Foundation is committed to assisting our customers to confidently transition to NDIS. We have been talking with people with a disability, their families and carers across the country to better understand the types of information and support you need.
We have partnered with leading Australian universities and undertaken research to determine how best to capture individual needs in line with the NDIS assessment process, so we are well prepared to support you.
As a result, we’ve developed the following tools that you’ll find useful:
1. Pre-planning booklet – Mapping My World
Many people tell us that preparing for planning meetings with the NDIS can be a daunting prospect with uncertainty about what needs to be included and how to start.
We have created a pre-planning booklet, Mapping My World, to help you to think about the supports you want and need – now and in the future – before meeting with your NDIA planner.
