Individualised Support Planning Under NDIS
Your support should reflect who you are, what matters to you and where you want to go. At Western Healthcare Group, our individualised support planning services are designed to put your needs, preferences, strengths and goals at the centre of your support journey.
We work with NDIS participants to understand their everyday needs, personal aspirations and preferred ways of receiving support. By developing a personalised approach, we help create greater clarity around the support you need and how it can contribute to meaningful outcomes.
What’s Included Under Individualised Support Plan?
An individualised support plan may cover a range of areas depending on the participant’s circumstances, including:
- Personal information and background
- Strengths, abilities and interests
- Communication preferences
- Personal routines
- Daily living requirements
- Personal care needs
- Mobility and accessibility considerations
- Community participation
- Short-term and long-term goals
- Support strategies
- Health-related considerations
- Risk and safety considerations
- Important contacts
- Preferred approaches to support
- Progress monitoring and review requirements
The exact content should be appropriate to the participant and the supports being delivered.
An individual support plan is a practical support document and is distinct from the NDIS plan created through the NDIS planning process.
Why Is Individualised Support Planning Important?
Every NDIS participant has different circumstances, abilities and aspirations. A personalised support approach helps ensure that support is relevant to the individual rather than based on assumptions.
An effective support plan can help:
- Clarify your personal needs and preferences
- Identify your strengths and abilities
- Establish meaningful short-term and long-term goals
- Provide clear direction for support workers
- Encourage greater independence and participation
- Identify relevant risks and safety considerations
- Promote consistency across your support team
- Track progress towards individual goals
- Adapt support when your circumstances or needs change
The NDIS planning process considers a participant’s situation, goals, day-to-day supports and unique needs related to your disabilities. Individualised support planning complements this by translating personal needs and goals into practical approaches for day-to-day support.
Who Can Benefit From Individualised Support Planning?
Individualised support planning may be valuable for NDIS participants who want a clearer, more personalised approach to their support.
It can be particularly useful when you:
- Have multiple daily support requirements
- Want greater consistency from your support team
- Are working towards specific personal goals
- Want to build greater independence
- Need support across different areas of daily life
- Have changing support requirements
- Prefer a structured approach to your care
- Want your preferences and communication needs clearly understood
