Start your NDIS journey with the right evidence.
Applying for the National Disability Insurance Scheme can feel overwhelming.
Access decisions are based on evidence and many applications are declined simply because the documentation does not clearly demonstrate the functional impact of disability.
At Propel Pathways, we can help individuals and families organise their evidence so the information presented to the National Disability Insurance Agency clearly reflects their support needs.
- Review of medical and allied health reports
- Identification of evidence gaps affecting access decisions
- Support preparing documentation for an Access Request
Understanding the system makes a difference.
We’ve been through the journey ourselves and are five year veterans of the NDIS system. Propel Pathways’ evidence review approach is informed by lived NDIS experience and a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) focused on analysing legislation and decision-making frameworks.
NDIS access decisions are based on strict legislative criteria.
Applications need to clearly demonstrate how a disability affects daily life and functional capacity.
Propel Pathways helps families organise their information so their application reflects the real impact of disability, not just the wording of a form.
focusing on the evidence that matters most.
Funding Information
These services are not funded through the NDIS because they occur before a person has been accepted as a participant or outside of an existing NDIS plan.
This service focuses on helping individuals and families organise and present the evidence required to support an NDIS access request. Support may include reviewing medical and allied health reports, identifying gaps in functional evidence and preparing summaries to assist with the Access Request process, as well as assisting in completing the Access Application.
Propel Pathways does not determine eligibility for the NDIS and cannot influence the outcome of an access decision. Final decisions regarding eligibility are made by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).
Individuals accessing NDIS Access Application Support through Propel Pathways cannot simultaneously receive Support Coordination from Propel Pathways, in order to avoid conflicts of interest and maintain independence in the advice provided.
If an individual is later accepted onto the NDIS, they may choose to engage Propel Pathways as their Support Coordination provider if they wish. However, there is no expectation or obligation to do so. Participants are always supported to exercise full choice and control when selecting their providers.
Propel Pathways does not provide legal advice or legal representation. Services are focused on evidence organisation, documentation support and participant advocacy.
