Everything you need to know about NDIS goals
Securing your initial National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plan can involve a comprehensive process, and establishing your goals might pose a notable challenge. Yet, these goals serve as a driving force, propelling you towards the pursuit of your utmost potential for a fulfilling life.
You might not have delved into your goals before, especially with someone you don't know. However, the NDIS necessitates that you define your goals and talk about them with your LAC or NDIS planner. Your NDIS plan funds will be directed toward services or items that support your goal attainment.
