SAMPLE NDIS PLAN C (YEAR 1):
SUPPORTING A YOUNGER PERSON
WITH COMPLEX SUPPORT NEEDS
TO LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY
This sample plan is for a younger person with disability and complex support needs who may be at risk
of entering residential aged care (RAC), or who has left RAC. This plan has some high upfront costs
(such as buying a wheelchair) that will reduce the following year as the participant’s capacity increases.
PART 1: ABOUT ME
Due to my disability I need significant support with planning, self-care and daily activities.
I live by myself in a two-bedroom apartment. The apartment is registered for specialist disability
accommodation (SDA), high physical support payments.
My personal and overnight supports are provided by a Supported Independent Living (SIL) provider,
allowing me to share some of the costs with other people with disabilities living in this development,
and giving me access to on-site back-up and overnight supports.
PART 2: MY GOALS
MY FIRST GOAL:
During this plan I want to maintain my current level of functioning, increase my independence with my
personal care and when accessing the community.
MY SECOND GOAL:
I want to become involved in a peer support group to learn and share with other people with disability
about living well in the community.
MY THIRD GOAL:
I want to study photography.
MY LONGER-TERM GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS:
I want to be more independent and have more control over my life. I want to be an active and valued
member of my local community.
PART 3: MY SUPPORTS
These are the supports that will help me work towards my goals.
