Did you know that emergency planning is an important part of your NDIS supports — and that different providers play different roles in helping you prepare?
National Disability Services (NDS) recently published clarifications on some common questions in the disability sector. One key point: support coordinators (the people who help you connect with and coordinate your NDIS supports) are generally not required to write a personal emergency plan on your behalf. However, according to NDS guidance, they should be having conversations with you about emergency planning and helping to make sure a plan is in place with the right providers around you.
This is a good reminder for NDIS participants and families to ask: Does my support team know what to do in an emergency? Is there a plan that covers where I’ll go, who will help me, and what I’ll need? If you’re not sure, it’s worth raising this with your support coordinator or the providers delivering your day-to-day supports.
At Care For Welfare, we believe every person with disability deserves to feel safe and supported — not just day to day, but when the unexpected happens too. If you have questions about how allied health therapy fits into your broader support needs, we’re here to help.
