How to Prepare for an NDIS Planning Meeting
If you've got a planning meeting coming up and you're already dreading it, you are not overreacting. Most people find these meetings hard. Here's how to make yours less of a fight.
I turn what I've lived through into tools you can actually use. Know your rights. Know what to say. Know your next step.
What I do
Not buzzwords. Not awareness campaigns. Grounded, trauma-aware programs that help people find their voice and hold onto it.
That means:
Self-Advocacy Unleashed is where it starts: a course built from lived experience, to help others speak their truth, set boundaries, and take back control of their own story.

Wondering what people actually mean when they say “self-advocacy”? It’s a word that gets used constantly, in NDIS plans, in service brochures, in strategy documents, and hardly anyone ever stops to explain it properly. Here’s what it actually means, and what it doesn’t. Honestly, this one bugs me a bit. Self-advocacy gets treated like everyone
At one point I had five specialists involved in my care, and not one of them had spoken to another. I was the only person who knew the full picture, and I was the least qualified person in the room to be making sense of it. Every specialist looks at their own slice with real
