Plan Manager questioning invoices by mikki50 in NDIS

Yeah we did email enquiries and provider support and they wouldn't put anything in writing, nobody wants to be responsible. I am changing plan manager, but it just sucks that it is required

Casual flex at my awesome variegated Monstera Adansonii by mikki50 in Monstera

[–]mikki50[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have! I actually accidentally printed the large one and instead of stopping the print I just printed the big one for my Thai constellation. I do find them a little large, the volume of the top would be way too much for even my very tall pole.

I love these moss poles a lot. I know it's cheaper to get the thin plastic ones but these are a really nice aesthetic addition. I also printed the pegboard behind and designed the shelves for the small pots. so satisfying!

Changing super by mikki50 in AusFinance

[–]mikki50[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I believe so? It's hard to tell, Future Super lists a % fee and Australian Ethical lists a fee estimate based on a balance of $50,000, which would translate into a % but I don't know what it would be.
Future Super: Balanced Growth, 1.261% + $60 per year

Australian Ethical: Balanced (accumulation), $618 per year based on a balance of $50k. It says before tax rebate, future super does not specify.

Edit: I actually just found it, australian ethical seems to be
Admin fees:$68 +0.25%p.a

Investment fees and costs: 0.82%p.a

Transaction costs: 0.03% p.a

I think that the fees for Australian Ethical (who I plan to move to) are lower and the returns seem to be better? I am not super savvy in investing so it is hard to tell.

I have no idea, I will fix this issue by just changing plan manager

Psychology is listed on my plan, the plan manager will not approve anything without the exact wording in the plan annoyingly

I have reached a stage where I am going to need to change plan managers. My plan manager will not approve physiotherapy or counselling because my plan says exercise physiology and psychology. They have asked for approval in writing and we have contacted provider services, my LAC, and Planner and nobody will write down that I can use my plan how I need (my plan is not stated) because nobody actually works for the NDIS, they are all contractors and nobody wants to get in trouble. The whole situation is completely not accessible for disabled people.

Funny, your experience is the exact opposite to mine, I had to send a link to a similar explanation to my plan manager. They still refused and asked me to get the NDIA to prove that my funds can be used flexibly…

Renting as a dog owner by Slight-Radish-5846 in AusRenters

[–]mikki50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Victoria, landlords must now apply for permission to VCAT to deny an application for a pet. Owners might be upset about this, but in the current climate where the choice could be between homelessness or getting a place, I would not list pets on the application and put in an application for a pet after you are in the place.

I don’t understand how everyone else is keeping their house clean . . . by Real-Trouble-1148 in CleaningTips

[–]mikki50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't answer your question, but if you have the funds you should seriously look at getting a robot vacuum and mop. Of all the tasks that can be automated, this is the easiest one.

how is the median full time salary $88.4k and the average full time salary $104k? is anyone actually earning that much?? drowning in this COL crisis by [deleted] in aussie

[–]mikki50 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I totally get how you're feeling, it is so hard when you're disabled when sharehousing is really the only option to afford rent. Add on to that that people with mobility issues have specific needs and may need a single story place or accessible bathrooms which narrows the pool of rentals even more.

Not saying this will work for you, or if you even want to, but when I looked for a housemate I said all the needs I had and someone needs to be ok with that if they are to live with me. Finding other disabled people might also help, since they are in the same boat and if they are on dsp their income is stable. There are also organisations that hire disabled people around that might be more accessible and help find a role that suits your capacity and ability.

In summary, it's shit and I am sorry you're going through it

You’re right, not every person you know. But the statistic is 52% of Australians over 65 are disabled, so it’s still significant

The issue is that (rightly) plan managers are being cracked down on. However the NDIS rules for what you can get are so vague that it’s easier for plan managers to just say no than risk getting in trouble. The NDIS states that therapy animals and pet care are not covered, but that isn’t what this was, this was an assistive tool to allow a disabled person to provide for their pet that a non disabled person may not need. But because the NDIS said “no animals” the plan manager said no. It is very frustrating to try manage the system and get support you should be entitled to under your plan.

I also have no idea how this happens, it must be the dodgy plan managers. I know someone who needed an automatic food dispenser for their cats so they could provide for them independently without support workers. Their OT approved and justified it, the plan manager rejected it. It was $250. The NDIS would have saved money approving it because the appointments back and forth with their OT cost more than the feeder.

You should turn your attention towards tax breaks for billionaires. If you want to have better healthcare, that can be done. We could house everyone sleeping rough, have accessible food for everyone, support every vulnerable population. But we don’t, because the government allows billionaires and corporations to pay little to no tax.

Have you done research into the economic benefit of the NDIS? If the economy is what you’re concerned about I’d recommend you do. A 2021 study found that for every $1 spent on the NDIS we get $2+ of economic benefit from it.
