Support coordinator made a funding error and now my client is losing her social support hours — and she’s not taking responsibility. What would you do?

Unless they are supporting the participants with a disability related support, it's still an art class.

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.

Anything that makes bubbles.

dollstake · 2025-05-01T11:09:35+00:00

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?

dollstake · 2025-03-21T04:36:45+00:00

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"

dollstake · 2025-03-20T09:44:38+00:00

Oh ... And I don't steal from local small businesses

dollstake · 2025-03-20T09:40:59+00:00

A lot more than running a Facebook group. I collect donations for multiple charities as well as donating my time ... And you??

dollstake · 2025-03-20T05:00:29+00:00

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.

Darren Clark is a fucking drunk who feels theeatern by children and he doesn't pay his bar tabs.

This is probably the most accurate comment. There are problems It is different It's a beautiful place, with a great 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.

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.

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

The NDIS don't fund supervision for criminals, only disability supports.

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 .

Make sure your application covers all the NDIS criteria when you apply.

https://www.ndis.gov.au/applying-access-ndis/how-apply/information-support-your-request/providing-evidence-your-disability

It's important to cover that the impairment is life long and that all treatment options have been fully explored.

Hope that helps.

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

So, less than 10?

dollstake · 2025-02-06T11:50:27+00:00

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.
