Business Development Team,
​formerly, NDIS Services

BREAKING NEWS! 

Following on from the great work of the NDIS Services team over the past 10 years in preparing the organisation for transition to a new funding model and assisting Participants with their transition to NDIS funding, it was time to review the title of the NDIS Services Team.  With the exception of our Sport and Pathways Super Team, all services at Life Stream Australia are NDIS related, and therefore giving one team the title seemed a little inaccurate.

At the end of March 2023, we were proud to transition the current NDIS Services Team to the Business Development Team.  Stay tuned for more details on how Julie, Janelle, Courtney, Mel, Carrie and Liam are going to work together with Participants, Employees, Volunteers, Leisure Guides, the Organisation and the Sector to implement efficient and innovative practices to support our ongoing NDIS service delivery!

While the name has changed, a lot of the information below is still accurate.  Watch out for our introductory videos on our Business Development Team.

NDIS Services

The NDIS Services Team provides valuable supports to both Participants and the organisation regarding

• Support Coordination (where funded)
• Interpretation of NDIS Plans and Budgets
• NDIS | Life Stream Australia Service Documents (required to access formal supports)
• Advocacy at both Participant, Organisation and Systemic levels
• Processing and receipting of invoices and payments for supports provided

​This program sits outside ALL OTHER Life Stream Australia programs, and at no time is it appropriate for the NDIS Services team to encourage a family member or Participant to make decisions to choose Life Stream Australia.  The services and supports an Participant or their family chooses to access may or may not include Life Stream Australia services, or a choice may be made to access some, but not others.

Linking Participants and their families with services and products that will meet their specific needs and goals.

​Thinking outside the box to identify unique opportunities that may meet a Participant's NDIS prescribed goals, in an innovative or creative way.

Connecting Participants and their families choosing to self-manage, so they may provide each other with formal and informal supports, mentoring and guidance.

Responding to the changing needs of Participants and their families, to offer flexibility when other aspects of their lives become overwhelming.  

​Our NDIS Services team operates within the core values and beliefs of Life Stream Australia, supporting Participants and their families to identify their needs, choose appropriate services, reflect on outcomes, and seek additional guidance when needed. 

NDIS Services Team

Life Stream Australia is a registered NDIS service provider, with approval to deliver a wide variety of services.  Check out our Individualised Services page for ideas on how we can support you. 

For all Participants accessing Life Stream Australia programs, the NDIS Services Team is responsible for the preparation of service agreements, schedules, supporting documentation, invoices and making claims for payment.

The NDIS Services Team remain informed and up to date with the frequent changes at NDIA and the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, and can provide Participants and their families with information, resources and support to access the scheme, implement budgets and prepare for scheduled or unscheduled reviews.  Most importantly, the Team ensures the choice and control of all service access and decision making remains with the Participant and their family.  

Life Stream Australia and the NDIS Services Team are proud to support Queensland communities through this process and their ongoing access to NDIS.
 
Life Stream Australia is proud to be an NDIS Registered Provider.

​NDIS Cost per hour
(including TTP Loading where applicable)

Life Stream Australia, with the support of NDIA, participates in a price benchmarking survey to assist NDIA to set upcoming price limits each year.  In recognition of the time taken to engage in this process, and the value of the information collected, NDIA permits a registered provider that submits data, to charge the Temporary Transformation Payment (TTP).  This percentage, charged on top of the base rate price limit, began at 7.5% and has reduced by 1.5% annually to be 3% in the 2022-2023 financial year.
 
Life Stream Australia charges TTP rates for supports where these rates are applicable
