The Summer Foundation’s very own Dr George Taleporos is hosting a second series of podcasts, to help you make sense of the NDIS.
Back by popular demand, Reasonable and Necessary with Dr George: Making Sense of the NDIS is available to listen to on iTunes or SoundCloud. There will be five half-hour episodes in this second series, in which Dr George talks about different topics including self management of your NDIS Plan, support coordination and the relationship between the health system and the NDIS.
The podcasts are about simplifying the NDIS and helping participants, their families and anyone else involved in supporting NDIS participants to be able to work their way through a new and complicated process.

Can these podcasts please also cover:
1. How to appeal an unreasonable rejection of an NDIS application eg. by a young stroke survivor with obvious visible and invisible disability, and
2. Consideration for currently higher functioning individuals with invisible disability eg. young stroke survivors, to be able to apply for the NDIS in the future if/as they deteriorate and experiencing worsening disability, invisible or otherwise.
Thankyou.

As an Allied Health professional in an area that the NDIS is just beginning to roll out, I just want to say a big thank you for these podcasts! I feel increasingly confident that I’m gaining an improved knowledge base of what is ‘reasonable & necessary’ in assisting my clients to begin to dream of a more ‘reasonable’ life beyond the previous limitations of the Disability Support Services offered.
