NDIS funding — the park

Inside the NDIS funding shop at ParkSyde, drawn in the park’s own low, warm dawn light. A still pool of light lies at the centre of the room, holding the dawn. Nine trees stand spread around it, each mirrored faintly on the floor beneath it, and two lamps on posts flank a footpath of light leading in. Near the pool: a rug, a couch, a soft chair, a water cooler, an empty wheelchair, standing side-on — nobody is behind anything, and nothing stands between them and you. Spread out across the room, each on its own post, are six brass push buttons. Their labels, floating over them, read: What it costs; Paying with your plan; Where ParkSyde stands; How this starts; Ask for a time; Reach a person. Pressing one walks you over and the shop tells you that one thing.

Paying with your plan

Whether your plan can be used that way is a question for your plan manager or the NDIA. Ask them before you count on it, and we'll be straight with you either way.

Who this is for: People who manage their own NDIS funding, or have it managed for them by a plan manager. If you are not sure which of those you are, that is a fair thing not to know, and it is not a reason to wait before asking us — though the answer itself has to come from your plan manager or the NDIA rather than from us.

Where ParkSyde stands

We meet our obligations under federal and state law and to the bodies that govern the work we do. Whether your own plan can be used this way is a question for your plan manager or the NDIA, so ask them before you count on it.
