The Summer Foundation’s very own Dr George Taleporos is hosting a new podcast series that aims to help make sense of the NDIS.
Reasonable and Necessary with Dr George: Making Sense of the NDIS is available to listen to on iTunes or SoundCloud. There are five half-hour episodes in the series, in which Dr George talks about different topics including understanding the NDIS Act, how to go about making your NDIS plan, the NDIS and housing and more.
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.
Past episodes in the podcast series are available here. Full transcripts of each podcast are also available.

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.
