Create Support Plan

The National Disability Insurance Scheme functionality has been designed to keep track of NDIS data for clients and assist in reporting this data to the NDIA portal.

The first step in recording NDIS activities is creating a Support Plan.

A support plan mirrors the plan provided to the client by the NDIA. It will include what services your agency will provide (Service Bookings) and the budget for these services.
