Planner. A term used to describe the person who works for the NDIA (National Disability Insurance Agency) and determines how a plan can is costed and developed. Planners are public servants and they have delegation to cost and approve plans. If a planner calls you or your carer our strong advice is to refuse phone interviews or interviews at the premises of the agency without support. LAC’s (see below) do not have the delegation to approve plans. LAC (Local Area Coordinators) collect information on behalf of the NDIS to inform planners. LAC’s in Sydney work for the St Xxxxxxx’x Xx Xxxx Society or Uniting. Participants reviewed by LAC’s are supposed to have lesser support requirements than those reviewed by Planners, although we sometimes find this assumption problematic. If you are concerned that your LAC does not have knowledge or experience with ABI you need to let us know so you can be accompanied to 1:1 interviews or assessments. EVIDENCE: All decisions by the Agency should be evidence based. This means that medical reports, particularly from your treating doctors and therapists, are extremely important. If you don’t have current evidence or information, make sure you talk to us. Evidence is not about a planner’s opinions, but should be based on observations (by an experienced worker/carer) and facts. Therapist and specialist reports help inform NDIS decisions and ultimately, your funding. REVIEW: If you are unhappy with an NDIS plan or an NDIS decision you can request a review. Reviews within the first 90 days of release are treated as a greater priority than other unscheduled reviews. A review of a decision can take some time (up to 3 months) so it is best to commit existing funding in the hope that the review may increase or improve funding amounts/distribution. Headway ADP can assist you to submit a review. You will often need evidence from a doctor or allied health professional (see above) to support the review.
Planner. These are people with the full-time role of handling schedule planning, but the responsibility is divided between several different other roles – depending on time scale.
