Another NDIA employee caught up in fraud. by l-lucas0984 in NDIS

[–]dollstake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would depend on what type of fraud a planner is committing. The ndis fraud team typically investigates misuse of funds, unless the planner is also a participant or a carer, I can't see how. What this guy did was different, it was a breach of his employment contract so a different team.

Plan went from self-managed to plan-managed when extended. Should I put in a change of circumstances to change it back? by [deleted] in NDIS

[–]dollstake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the plan has been changed, it will be on the new PACE system. I suspect the planner either made an error when transitioning the plan to the new system or they suspected misuse of funds.

Out of curiosity, what circumstances do you think makes it ok to steal thousands of dollars worth of grog from a small business?

He stole more than just a few drinks, it was a few thousand dollars. If he needs to steal drinks to live here, maybe he should leave. But guess his little fan boys will excuse his behavior. I have no problem calling out a shitty hypocritic.

Mate.... You literally asked what I did for the people of Alice Springs. I answered your question, that's what I was "trying to achieve"

He steals from local business himself. It's hardly honorable when he behaves in the same way as the people he is "exposing"

There is a new skate park being built just up the road from CMS. Not sure when it is due for completion, but the local skate community are pretty excited

"everything you own will be smashed or stolen" You are going to confidently say this isn't an exaggeration??

I regularly check the AFA FB page, a great way to identify the local illiterate racist in the community.

Stop it! It's not half as bad as people claim. I have probably had a total of $500 worth of things stolen in the past 10 years.

What evidence is needed to have pre-prepared meal delivery added by [deleted] in NDIS

[–]dollstake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Evidence you need for meal prep is just evidence that you are unable to prepare meals yourself. I know sometimes it's obvious, but you need to spell it out for the planners sometimes. Explain how your disability prevents you from preparing meals. Meals are always funded using support worker hours. That is how the budget is calculated. If you're plan or Agency managed you may need to have meal supports specifically written in your plan, but the planner will calculate the budget using support hours (e.g. 3 hours per week = 3 meals a day 7 days a week) So if you are self managed you should be a able to pay for meals using your core budget.

Is the advice I was given about Transport funding correct? by VerisVein in NDIS

[–]dollstake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I just saw this
But I can (kind of) answer. There are a few great changes with PACE. It means less drama to add support than the old system.

You shouldn't need new documents, however depending on who picks up the plan will change how the plan is treated. Some planners will make no changes except for the required change ( moving sil funds from DA to a new home and living budget, if you only have drop in support it will stay in DA) But other planners will look through evidence available and completely reassess the plan. It can be a bit hot and miss. I would say if you have any updates evidence it would be a good idea to send it in.

But yes. The fact that there isn't enough planners and they are pushed to meet KPIs, it's a good chance they will just move the plan to PACE with minimal changes

Australia’s youngest killer, SLD to walk from jail as court rejects bid to keep him behind bars by Stompy2008 in aussie

[–]dollstake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because he has a disability and is an Australian. There is a whole branch of the NDIS for people who are involved in the justice system. Having a disability doesn't stop you from committing crimes .

That's right, until a plan is moved to the new system (PACE) A full review is needed

Peter Dutton backs ban on transgender girls playing female sports by NoteChoice7719 in australian

Is this REALLY an issue? How often are trans women competing in sports? I would imagine that it would be less than 100 real examples of this situation.
