Planning

This page is for people living with disability, their families and supporters.

It has information about:

• what planning is
• how to make a plan.

Planning helps you to be in control of your life.

You can make a plan by deciding what you want and then deciding how to get what you want.

You can make a plan on your own, with your family, with a friend, with a support worker or with a professional planner.

If you are using the National Disability Insurance Scheme you will need to make decisions about your personal support and funding.
