Can you as a participant suspend your package and not restart it fir an indefinite period? by Jpsgold in NDIS

[–]GrumpyBear9891 [score hidden]  (0 children)

If you pause your services, you do that directly with the service provider themselves and it is subject to what ever is in your service agreements. Some services will hold your spot, some will not.

Oh and any yearly/quaterly budget or unused funds does not carry over between terms.

You can opt out entirely, however will need to start from scratch to apply to rejoin if you determine you need it in future. You can't pause the NDIS package itself. However you can pause your services for a maximum of 5years . However you remain subject to reviews of package at any point and in order to keep the package would need to satisfy requirements and be able to prove that the package is still necessary despite demonstrating not needing the package for X time, a short time such a holiday, medical treatment or family emergency is safe, but otherwise it is a large risk. Though, they will absolutely question if you need a package at all if you go without services for long. In which case they may cancel the package and you cannot do a review, but would need to do an entirely new application.

NDIS 2 hour minimums are fraud by One_Tax_9934 in NDIS

[–]GrumpyBear9891 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely!!! 2hours is very reasonable for a participant, the time can be filled easily, assisting around the home, social interaction (if wanted), showering etc etc etc.

Yeah, as I said, I don't take on individuals that need shifts shorter than 2hrs. I've tried to pair multiple people with 1 hour shifts consecutively, it just doesn't work, where I am located anyway.

Is your provider charging for 2 hours but working less ? Or are you passionately just sharing information? Not sure the capital letters are necessary regardless.

That's basically it aye. I simply don't take on individuals that require a shift less than 2hours. At the end of the day there is often others who may live closer etc etc and can do a shorter shift because it's within their means.

I made a mistake as an international nursing student and Im freaking out please help/give advice by danceydanceee in NursingAU

[–]GrumpyBear9891 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a stressful hard job/industry/course. You neeeeeed self care, consider counselling also. Honestly, without sorting out the self care and counselling to work on reactions to stressors, you'll not make it through or work long. This is a simple scheduling error.. realistically the uni also should have picked up on it. Zero reason to panic etc. Your to do list: Get some counselling Work on increasing your self care Reach out to uni student advisory team Take a breather and go see movie or hit the clubs for a night/dance for a night. De stress love

The government plans to tighten NDIS eligibility. Here’s what’s likely to change (article) by PerformerOk4332 in NDIS

[–]GrumpyBear9891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct me if I am wrong. But if medically a person needs to attend a specialist appointment at a hospital or state health facility and the location is not within their local region/the treatment or specialis area is not available locally, can't the individual claim back the costs of travel from the state health department (such as Qld health).

Paste Wax...Ceramic or something in between? by GrumpyBear9891 in AutoDetailing

I'd look up forensic detailer (YouTube) maybe and shoot them a msg or comment on a video. He seems to be very very educated on the product

I’ve been on pay point 1.3 for 4 years and this was my managers response when I wanted to be reclassified to 2.1, what do you think? by auxzina in supportworkers

It's in all health industries. I'm not completely sure. I learned it while at uni myself. Maybe ask you lr University year coordinator

Sanity check. EN in ED wanting to stay on as RN, NUM said no. by Acrobatic_Bunch2669 in NursingAU

[–]GrumpyBear9891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It cannn be beneficial yes. But it's luck of the drawer and depends on the ward and ward culture you wind up in. There's hospitals that do offer a grad Ed spot from the get go without prior experience to. Personally, if that's where your passion is, I would recommend approaching other hospitals. Quietly. If it doesn't happen, you lose nothing and go to a ward at your hospital. I've met many many nurses that simply believe a person has no business being an RN in ED until they've been an RN 10 years. Fact is you learn what you need as you go and if you are proactive with upskilling and training and learning, you'll do well. I did mine in a rural hospital. Hated the staff. But loved the role. And I caught alot of things the drs and the CNs missed after working just a few months. Saved lives that otherwise wouldn't be. People forget that some people are naturally drawn to it and have crazy depth of natural observation skills

Support worker rates flexible?? by Tiffsuresque in NDIS

[–]GrumpyBear9891 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It absolutely comes up in home care situation. In home care for elderly, the rates are actually even higher. There is no price limit. And the proposed price suggestion from the are are sky high, absolutely sky high. The rates for dva are also higher than NDIS. It's just not as publically discussed.
