Keep Your NDIS Details Up to Date: A Simple Check
Life can change quickly. You might move house, get a new phone number, change your routine or have different support needs.
These changes may seem small, but keeping your NDIS details up to date can make a real difference to how your supports are organised and delivered. 📋
Taking a few minutes to check your information from time to time can help your provider keep accurate records and stay in touch with you.
Why Are Your NDIS Details Important?
Your NDIS details help your provider understand your circumstances and communicate with you effectively.
Accurate information can help with things such as:
Communicating important updates
Organising your supports
Keeping participant records accurate
Understanding changes to your support needs
Contacting the right person when needed
Supporting safe and appropriate service delivery
When information changes, letting your support team know can help prevent unnecessary confusion or delays.
What NDIS Details Should You Check?
You don't need to spend hours going through everything.
A quick check of a few key details can be a good place to start. 💜 Contact Details Have you changed your:
📱 Phone number? 📧 Email address? 🏠 Home address?
Make sure your provider has your current contact details so they can reach you when needed.
Emergency Contact Details
Your emergency contact information should also be kept current.
If your nominated contact has changed their phone number, moved away or is no longer the appropriate person to contact, let your provider know.
Your Routine and Support Needs
Your everyday routine can change over time.
Perhaps you have started a new activity, changed your schedule or need support at different times.
If your circumstances or support needs have changed, it can be helpful to discuss this with your support team.
Your provider can then make sure the information they hold reflects your current circumstances.
Keeping Your NDIS Details Up to Date Supports Better Communication
Good communication works both ways. 🤝
Your provider needs accurate information to communicate with you and organise your supports, while you should also feel comfortable letting your provider know when something has changed.
Keeping your NDIS details up to date can make everyday communication simpler and help everyone work from the same information.
A Quick Check Can Make a Difference
You don't have to wait until something goes wrong to check your information.
Every so often, take a few minutes to ask yourself:
✔️ Have my contact details changed? ✔️ Is my emergency contact still correct? ✔️ Has my routine changed? ✔️ Have my support needs changed? ✔️ Does my provider have the information they need?
If everything is still correct, great.
