Update from Clive
What’s the Gossip?
Hi everyone, and welcome to Carinbundi’s September newsletter –
this month’s issue is full of photos and updates on all the
activities being enjoyed by our customers, and staff. Many of our
customers attended the Ability Ball on 23 September and had the
chance to meet Ziggy and Brodie from ‘ Home & Away’ . Everyone
looked amazing and a very enjoyable night was had by all with
dinner, and dancing through the night. Thanks go to the carers who
accompanied the many customers who attended. All families of
Carinbundi are well into transitioning to the NDIS now. My thanks
goes to Brandi Brierley, and others, for doing everything they can
to help families be ready for the changes. All Carinbundi staff are
focussing on ensuring when your transition takes place, that we are
ready to not only help you through the transition, but ensuring
continuity of service. If you have questions about the NDIS
transition, please contact us and we can help. A personal letter
from me as CEO, to you re the NDIS….
Congratulations If you have had your plan completed by either
the IWC or the NDIA, your letter will clearly state the “Start
Date” of your plan, but it does NOT clearly state that “your
current State-Based Funding has therefore ceased”. As per the “NEXT
STEPS” stated in your approved NDIS letter (please refer to the
“Starting your plan” NDIS document), it is critical that you
immediately advise your current Service Providers that your NDIS
plan has been activated. As per the agreement between the Dept of
Communities and the NDIA, any support hours that Carinbundi have
provided from the start date of the NDIS Plan Approval, are to be
back-dated, and charged to your NDIS package. This process is
determined by the NDIS, and is the same for all Service Providers.
The ‘Intake Team’ at Carinbundi are available to assist you with
your transition to NDIS funding. Carinbundi can help you through
this transition process by: 1) checking that your new funding
reflects your needs and is sufficient in relation to your pre-plan;
2) ensuring your new funding at least matches (and in most cases
exceeds) your previous supports; 3) assisting you with the
transition from State Funding to NDIS funding.
The NDIS is the biggest opportunity for Carinbundi customers to
receive the funding, choice and control that the NDIS aims to
deliver. Let us help you to plan for the future you desire. Contact
the Intake Team: Brandi Brierley, [email protected] , or
Leann Pirie [email protected]. Phone: (07) 4158 9600. Kind
regards Clive Pearce, CEO Don’t forget to pop into Stocklands and
put your vote in for Carinbundi’s creation .. Wall-E – well done to
the customers who did a great job making Wall-E, and to the carers
who helped them. CLIVE
