Ever wondered about the intricacies of NDIS funding and responsibilities? The latest insights from the NDS Helpdesk have some answers!
Firstly, if you’re a provider onboarding new staff through shadow shifts for participants with complex needs, it’s important to note that these costs are included in the Supported Independent Living (SIL) hourly rate. Additional claims for shadow shifts are not permitted according to NDIA guidance.
For support coordinators, while you’re not required to develop personal emergency plans for participants, you play a crucial role in discussing and ensuring these plans are in place with relevant providers. This ensures participants are prepared and supported in emergencies.
