Your NDIS Goals for 2023

Setting goals with your NDIS Plan is an important step in making the most of your NDIS funding and achieving the outcomes that matter most to you.

Goals and Outcomes

The first step in setting goals with your NDIS plan is to understand the different types of goals that you can set. These can include things like improving your independence, increasing your social connections, or gaining new skills. Have a look at your life currently in terms of these areas:

  • Personal choice and control
  • Lifelong learning
  • Daily living
  • Relationships
  • Health and wellbeing
  • Work
  • Social and community participation, and
  • Home

How do you feel about each area? Once you have a clear understanding of the types of goals that are available to you, it’s important to think about what specific outcomes you would like to achieve. This might include things like learning how to cook a certain meal, joining a local sports team, or finding a job that you enjoy.

How to Achieve Them?

Next, you’ll need to think about the specific actions and support that will be needed to achieve your goals. For example, if your goal is to learn how to cook a certain meal, you may need support from a cooking teacher or a meal delivery service. It’s also important to consider how your goals align with your NDIS plan, and to make sure that you are using your funding in the most effective way possible. This might involve working with a support coordinator or other professional to ensure that your plan is tailored to your specific needs.

The most important thing to remember? No goal is too small or insignificant if it makes you happy.

Progress Tracking

Finally, it’s important to track your progress and review your goals regularly to ensure that you are making progress and that your plan is still meeting your needs. This might involve setting regular check-ins with your support coordinator or other professional, or simply keeping a journal of your progress. The team at Enable WA have a large array of skills in all areas, and our goal is to work with you to help you live the life you want.

Overall, setting goals with your NDIS plan is an important step in making the most of your funding and achieving the outcomes that matter most to you. By being clear about what you want to achieve, thinking carefully about the support you’ll need, and monitoring your progress, you can make sure that your plan is working for you.
