Helpful s 2018 Activities Calendar MONTHLY Calendar Distributed Return YOUR Requests CONFIRMATION of Activities Returned Invoices Sent After The Months Activities (Due dates to be advised) March 2018 Friday 2 nd February 2018 Wednesday 14 th March 2018 Friday 23 rd March 2018 Wednesday 4 th April 2018 Important Information Changing s Previously the Recreation Program accommodated people with Ageing Carers as first priority, followed by people living with Parents or Carers, then people in Alkira Residential, and lastly people living in Non-Alkira Residential. The introduction of the NDIS has triggered a reduction of Ageing Carers funding for Alkira Recreation. This means participants with a signed NDIS agreement with Alkira will now be considered first priority in the selection process for Recreation Activities. Priority for selection will be based upon the individual s needs, and allocated funding as outlined in their NDIS plans. Further selection will be based upon the above mentioned categories as 2 nd 5 th priority. I apologise if this change has any negative impact upon yourself or the person you care for. If you are concerned or need more information in relation to the Recreation Program, or any of the services Alkira offers please feel free to contact me (details below). Be sure to communicate with the NDIS team at Alkira if you have received word of an NDIS plan date or have received your first plan, to ensure you receive adequate support. If you are currently in the planning process for your NDIS plan and would like to participate in Alkira Recreation programs please advise your NDIS planner so that funding is allocated. For further information in relation to the NDIS feel free to contact the NDIS Transition Team at Alkira on 9890 1365.
