Ruby has been accepted into the NDIS. Hooray!
I would say that this is very clearly a system that is set up to repel all boarders. The difficulties I have encountered would certainly deter anyone not in perfect health, full of energy, very determined, a native English speaker, highly literate, and a professional bureaucrat.
Even with these advantages I had to submit Pearl’s application twice and personally contact a lead paediatrician at the State child Development Centre (for confirmatory information) and visit the NDIS office in person. In Ruby’s case it took three applications and getting submission from her paediatrician, developmental paediatrician, OT and teacher.
Once I get through the next administrative step, I will be able to book her into the OT and physio that I hope will really help her.
The funniest aspect of being rejected was still the first one where they looked for (and were unable to find) records of a male person with Pearl’s date of birth and my name. They indignantly informed us that something was wrong.
