Accessing the NDIS

Accessing the NDIS - Support That Makes the Process Easier

At Empower U Today, I understand that applying for the NDIS can feel overwhelming. The paperwork, the evidence, the waiting - it can be confusing and stressful.

You do not have to navigate it alone.

I support individuals and families through every stage of the NDIS access process, helping you prepare a strong application and ensuring the right evidence is included to give you the best chance of approval.

If you need guidance, clarity, and someone who understands the system, I am here to help.

The NDIS Application Process

Initial Consultation

We meet to discuss your situation and go through the NDIS application process. I will identify the documents needed, including reports from professionals such as:

• Psychologists
• Psychiatrists
• Occupational Therapists
• Speech Pathologists
• Physiotherapists
• Pediatricians
• Your GP

Document Preparation

I review your supporting documents and complete the required NDIS Access Request Form and supporting evidence forms.

These are then sent electronically to the appropriate professionals for signing.

Coordination With Specialists

I communicate with therapists and specialists to ensure documentation is completed and returned promptly.

Final Review and Submission

Once everything is complete, I conduct a final review and submit the application to the NDIA.

LAC Meeting Preparation

After submission, a Local Area Coordinator (LAC) will contact you to arrange a meeting.

I will guide you on what to expect and how to prepare.

Psychosocial Recovery Coaching

A Psychosocial Recovery Coach supports people living with mental health challenges to build a meaningful and independent life.

Recovery coaching focuses on helping you develop the skills, confidence, and supports needed to move forward.

Together we will:

• Identify your personal recovery goals
• Create a recovery plan tailored to your life
• Build resilience and coping strategies
• Connect you with community supports and services
• Strengthen your independence and wellbeing

Recovery is not just about managing challenges — it is about building a life that feels fulfilling and meaningful.

NDIS Funding for Recovery Coaching

If you have an NDIS plan, recovery coaching may be funded under Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living.

This funding helps you develop the skills and strategies needed to manage your disability and live more independently.

Working With Me Through the NDIS

I provide NDIS services to self-managed and plan-managed participants.

If your plan is NDIA-managed, you will need to work with a registered provider, as I have not yet completed this process.

Self-managed participants have the flexibility to choose providers who best suit their needs and goals.

My services align with NDIS Registration Group 06:

Assistance in Coordinating or Managing Life Stages, Transitions and Supports.
