Verve OT Training for NDIS OTs

Understanding the rules and how they apply to funded supports is essential to approval success in the NDIS. The NDIS rules set out the more detailed operation of the NDIS and accompany – and should be read in conjunction with – the NDIS Act. Beyond the rules we also have the NDIS operational guidelines, which explain what the NDIA considers when making decisions based on legislation. This session will provide an overview of the rules and guidelines most relevant to OT’s scope of practice to increase knowledge and awareness when recommending funded supports.

Objectives:
– To increase knowledge and understanding of the NDIS Rules (Supports for Participants)
– To increase knowledge and understanding of relevant operational guidelines and how they relate to NDIS funded supports
– To develop skills to link reporting evidence to the NDIS rules and operational guidelines.
