On a different note for any NDIS participants: did you know you can get huge discounts on meals if you have a DSP/NDIS package? One company I use is Dineamic, which delivers meals to your door. For example, if you order roughly 15 meals, it would normally cost around $180, but with your DSP, it comes in at around $40. Most meals can be popped in the microwave for 3-4 minutes, and you’re done!

You may need some support with the initial setup (talk to your Support Worker or Plan Manager if you have one), or you can try to do it yourself, but you’ll definitely need your NDIS number. There are a variety of different meal services to choose from, so some initial research can get the ball rolling.

Also, speaking of NDIS packages, did you know that you can charge back to the NDIS for outings like movies, events, or the aquarium? You can get reimbursed for these outings as long as they fall under your ‘social inclusion’ section within your Personal NDIS package. There are various other categories you can explore with your Support Worker or Plan Manager to make the most out of your NDIS package.

One last thing to remind everyone: if you have a DSP card, you can get free PTV travel on weekends. You still need to tap on, but you won’t be charged. Most manned train stations can set this up for you—just don’t forget to bring your DSP card and some ID.

Well, that’s it from me. Please look after yourselves, keep warm, and I hope the above information was helpful.

Until next time…🙂
