As part of your NDIS support coordination with Civic will be ensuring that your treatment plan meets the NDIS’s requirements. In order to do this, we will help you to prepare for your plan renewal meeting and organise a progress report on your current goals as well as a summary of the services you have been receiving.
We will also review the goals of your current plan with you, and help you decide what you want to achieve in the next 1-2 years on your new plan. We will also discuss the best ways to achieve your goals with you. You will also need a list of your formal supports (medical practitioners and carers from Civic) and anyone who helps you informally (family and friends).
