- Services Dundaloo Provides
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is the new way of providing support for Australians with disability, their families and carers.
The NDIS will deliver life-long, individualised support to people living with a disability. It has been designed to deliver choice and control for you as they decide what supports and services they receive.
Dundaloo Support Services strongly supports the NDIS as a system that empowers people living with a disability to choose a life that is meaningful to them. We support the rights for all people to have equal participation and opportunity to reach their potential.
1. Am I eligible?
Answer the questions on the NDIS Access Checklist to check your eligibility.
ADVOKIT – NDIS has been developed by Disability Advocacy Network Australia Limited (DANA) to support advocacy for people with disabilities in connection with the NDIS. They can also provide information about becoming a participant.
2. Start thinking about your needs and goals

We can support you through the planning process:
- We have produced two booklets What I Do Every Day and My Life to make it easy for you to think about the supports you want and need – now and into the future. It is important to think about what you enjoy doing, your work, your outings and day to day household tasks so the supports you need are included in your plan. We can tell you what other supporting documentation you need to take to the NDIS planning meeting.
- We can offer pre-planning meetings to support you to complete the booklets. Staff at DSS are trained to support you through this process.
- You can call Tracey on 6551 4214 to arrange a meeting to step you through the pre-planning process.
- You can email Tracey on ndis@dundaloo.org.au to arrange a meeting to step you through the pre-planning process or to have your questions answered.

We can support you to prepare for your review when it is scheduled. See below for Pre-Planning information.
Pre Planning
To support service users get ready to talk to their NDIS planner, the Dundaloo Support Services in consultation with service users and family members have developed a Pre Planning Pack. This consists of an introduction letter, and information sheet and the ‘What I do everyday’ and ‘My Life’ workbooks. These workbooks are developed in a style that is user friendly and supports a variety of communication styles.
