SAMPLE NDIS PLAN A:
WORKING TOWARDS MOVING OUT
OF RESIDENTIAL AGED CARE
This plan is for a younger person who is living in residential aged care (RAC) and who would like to
investigate living in the community with appropriate supports from the NDIS.
PART 1: ABOUT ME
I currently live in residential aged care (RAC). Due to my disability I require significant support with
planning, self-care and daily activities.
PART 2: MY GOALS
MY FIRST GOAL:
I would like to develop my skills, networks and confidence to work towards leaving aged care. I would
like to look for suitable housing and think about where I could live and the kinds of supports I need to
live in the community.
MY SECOND GOAL:
I want to be able to get around. I need my own manual wheelchair to get around indoors and a
motorised wheelchair to access the community.
MY THIRD GOAL:
I want to maintain my current level of functioning and access the community at least four times a week
and attend a hydrotherapy class.
MY LONG-TERM GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS:
I want to move out of aged care. I want to be a contributing and valued member of my community.
PART 3: MY SUPPORTS
These are the supports that will help me work towards my goals.
